This is for our second full day in Yosemite. We woke up and ate waffles while we planned our day. We were excited because the previous day's fog had disappeared and we had sun. This meant Mirror Lake would have great reflections and it would be easy to drive up to a look out that dad wanted to show me. We were going to go to Mariposa to see the mega-trees but the guest services desk said that cars couldn't drive within 2 miles of the grove because of the snow and ice. So we would have had to walk 2 miles in the cold on conditions that were obviously quite difficult- and uphill.
We walked to Mirror Lake and found out that having our legs go numb from cold on the walk was worth it because the reflections and views were incredible.Afterwards, on our way to the lodge for lunch, we decided to go do our souvenir shopping. I got a toy bear (as a reminder of our only major animal sighting so far apart from squirrels which they didn't have toys of) and a mug. We were walking to the bus to go to the lodge and you would not believe it- I saw someone from school!
Then, at lunch in the crazy cafeteria, I saw another person from school. What are the chances? Two people from St Peters in the one place on the one day within 2 hours of each other. I would never have expected one person in the whole trip, let alone 2 in the one place!
We drove up to the incredible look-out dad had wanted to see and on the way saw a coyote! Oh and the view was pretty damn good too.Then we returned to the lodge before dinner and then we slept. So yeah...
