National Parks and San Fran

wow haven't written in ages. Left seattle two weeks ago and travelled to Mt Rainier Natrional Park. little did i know i would be hiking in thick snow. Slid down the side of Mt Rainier on a garbage bag. That was fun. Drove 500 miles through WEashingotn, Idaho and Montana and stayed in Missouri, Montana. Drove to yellowstone NP and saw black bears, a grizzly bear, coyote, elk, byson, moose and some other cool stuff. Saw lots of geysers inlcuding Old Faithful. Drove through Nevada and went to Craters of the Moon and some hot springs. Watched australia lose to someone in a casino in the middle of Nevada. Went to the Grand Tetons in Wyoming and stayed at Jackson. Hiked to Ampitheatre Lake which was entirley frozev over and started snowing as i ate my sandwich! Another 500 miles and got to Lake Tahoe on the Californai Nevada border with great views of the Sierra Nevada range. Drove to Yosemite NP which was so stunning. Hiked to Half-Dome which was 27km and took all day including a few hundred metres of vertical rock-face climbing. Most spectacular and satisfying walk ever, almost. Stopped at a winery for some wine-tasting outside san fran before arriving yesterday and walking over the golden gate bridge in cold and mist! Could go into more detail with all the walks but running out of time. Will be home in less than two weeks! yay!
