Bay Area

Photo of Rachel and Frances in front of the pet shop in the neighborhood in which they live.

I just spent two and a half days in Mariposa, and Yosemite National Park, photos to be posted at a later time. R and A and I drove up on Thanksgiving day, and as soon as we got out of the city, the landscape changed into rolling hills, with almond tree groves, slab rocks protruding out of the ground, and finally the beautiful acreage of A's dad with a view of the Yosemite mountains.

Friday we drove into the park, spectacular, good weather, unique and majestic rock forms. It was a real treat to be able to see it with three such fine persons.
