California road trip

      We arrived in  Sausalito just in time for the Sausalito Art Festival! It was great, except that I lost my camera!  Grrrrrr!  Right now, we're on a road trip to Yosemite, which we did  yesterday and the day before, hiked up to Half Dome, but didn't go all the way to the top; there were too many people going up.  Now we're in Death Valley, heading for the Grand Canyon, and maybe Zion or Bryce, then Joshua Tree for Climbing, Tahoe and then back to the boat in Sausalito!  And for all that I won't have a camera!  GRRRRRR!
      Anyway, the driving so far has been pretty boring, (driving usually is!) but Yosemite was stunning, it's all forest, big, rocky mountains and glacial lakes and streams.  The campsite we stayed in wasn't actually in the Park, it was just outside of it, and we had a little stream that went by right below the campsite, so we could swim and puddle in it!  
      We left Yosemite through Tioga Pass and it looked a lot like where we lived in France, all beautiful alpine country, then when you get to the other side of the Pass, it looks more like a desert!  
       So far, the trip's going well!!!

  ( I'll try to get some photos on from Mom's camera.)

    Its your cousin Adam Palmer I was reading your blog and it sounds like your having a great time but you also lost your camera. So your kind of equal on both ends(good, bad). Whats it like living on the sailboat with your parents and Christopher?
