Yosemite National Park - Day 6

We spent today enjoying a lot of Yosemite's beauty, but especially enjoyed the upper and lower falls seen here.  The crashing water sounds like thunder on a tin roof and the mist is like standing in a cold, blowing rain.  We recommend that all reading this blog rent the DVD series by Ken Burns (a ten-hour documentary) titled "America's Best Idea: The National Park System" which was a major reason we are taking this trip.  One really appreciates the visionary Americans who dedicated their careers and fortunes to creating our national park system.  We spend six more days here before moving on for another week at Sequoia National Park.
