The Yosemite National Park is one whole town in itself. It is huge and comprises mountains and mountains of granite rocks.
One think I liked about the Americans is they know how to protect their natural beauties. Yosemite is one prime example. I did not see any commercial establishment there except of course for the few ones that are operated by the city and they are far from being commercial. There were no tarpaulines of politician’s faces, no billboards of condominium developers and no Belo ads. The place is one I could call purely organic. I just saw towering granite cliffs, giant sequoias and wildflowers.
The meadows, craggy peaks and valleys where shaped by glaciers for 10,000 years.
The water was crystal clear.

We were given 20 mintues to take pictures of the Bridal Waterfalls.
Perry, our tour guide said the Bridal Waterfalls is the most romantic waterfall in the whole world. In what way… I did not feel any romance when I saw it. parang kulang sa water.

Daming tourists, dagdag pa ako.

Aileen brought along Bong’s dlsr camera kasi pictures daw come out better.
Do not be deceived by this river’s serenity and beauty. Three guys drowned here three months ago. One was drowning, the two tried to save him. They all drowned.
