Got ready early this morning to go to Yosemite Valley. I got in my car and drove for miles along route 140 which brought me to the entrance to Yosemite National Park. I was supposed to meet my guide Paola at 9am for a half day of walking. We started our day by visiting a beautiful riverbed and sitting down and meditating. It was wonderfully close to the water and looked out on granite mountains with trees. After our meditation we went for a walk (isn’t it just walking?) and I saw a waterfall, Half Dome, Sentinel, and walked through a meadow. The only animals I saw were a family of ducks swimming in the water. I tested the water and it was very cold. The meadow we walked through had grass as high as my hips with goldenrod and milkweed. It was a very beautiful day. Paula was very patient and took me to many places to get the best photo.
After driving back to the hotel, I had an appointment for a bath. It was great for the first 15 minutes. Then I started getting a stabbing feeling in my lower back and my leg. I got out of the bath and the spots were red. Thinking I was being bitten by something, I came home and took a shower. Then I applied some antiseptic to the areas. Turns out it may have been a reaction to the eucalyptus in the tub. Three hours later and it’s gone.
I met my meditation group online and did a healing meditation. Then I went to the restaurant for dinner. I’m so full.
That was day 2. I contacted Lucky and she is starting to enjoy watching football on TV. Never too late to start a new hobby!
See you tomorrow…
