The final stage of the Dierauf July tour was a couple nights in Yosemite. After a two hour queue at the entrance to the park we drove to the start of the Sentinel dome trail and immediately saw a bear:

Some pics from that first day


We stayed in Curry Village in these tent cabins

Day 2 we hiked up past some waterfalls and down little yosemite valley a bit before turning around and going down the mist trail
On the way out the next day, we said hi to El Capitan, but couldn't spot any climbers.

Dani and I had one extra night in SF before flying home on July 31st.
And so ends a very full month! When I returned to work the following Monday I had legitimately forgotten some very basic Java syntax, and I have been writing Java for moeny for almost 8 years. That means it was a good vacation. Shout out to my family for hanging out with us all month and for organizing everything! Love you guys.
