Farewell Yosemite

This is our last night in Yosemite West.  We thank Holly and Jeff for being gracious hosts.  No bears tried breaking and entering while we were here.  They left Jan a nifty bottle of wine.  We got to use a washer and drier tonight which always makes returning home easier.

Our touring day was spent in an open-air tram run by the park service and one of their contractors.  It's a diesel hybrid!  We toured the valley making stops along the way.  The picture of El Capitain and the image of the Merced River with Galcier Point in the background are from that tour.

We dined out tonight.  It's only the second time we ate dinner outside of our rooms in the two weeks.  The Ahwahnee was built with large windows looking out at El Capitain and other parts of the valley.  If I had to pick between the Ritz Carlton and the Ahwahnee I would go with the Ritz but only by very slim margin.

After dinner back up to Yosemite West with a quick stop at the Tunnel View overlook for a picture of Half Dome at Sunset.  The last image is from the road in "our neighborhood" with the red glow of sunset settled over Yosemite, a fitting way to say goodbye.

Tomorrow we head to San Francisco and a baseball game.
