6.14 Just returned from camping at Yosemite National Park

Looking out at a 22 hour hike we were thinking of doing. It starts at the valley, up along two waterfalls, around that smaller rock mass and towards the Half Dome, seen on the left.

I can hear the excited and worried chatter of some Japanese onlookers who couldn't stand to watch and, at the same time, couldn't help but stare at my friends so casually crawl out to the edge. It's a straight drop down into the valley, thousands of feet. The view must have been worth it.

Heyz and Jav exploring the valley.

This walk up was so worth this shot. You might be able to see the steep walkway on the left. The mist coming off the fall really helped offset the summer heat.

Preparing to go up the Half Dome. Friends help friends out. [photocred: Jaclyn]

Wish I had a recording of this mountain squirrel. It was hissing at this snake nearby as we were passing. The sound was more of a chirp and every time the squirrel made a loud chirp, its bushy tail ticked from side to side, like a minute hand on a clock! We figured the squirrel's babies must be close and threatened.[photocred: Jaclyn]

Sorry Jaclyn, for almost sending your sunglasses down the waterfall!![photocred: Jaclyn]

See how clear this water is??? Thanks to Terry for this candid! We swam, laughed and swung on rope swings.

Wedding of the year goes to the Roques! May Jah richly bless you two in fulfilling this new potential you have as one body!!

Had a great, full day working along with these women. At the end of the day, we were covering a cul-de-sac with the most beautiful homes.We were canvasing for the deaf or hard of hearing as Amber is in the Sign Language Congregation. Taylor and Janiece get to their last door and find a staff member of the household open the door. He lives in the next town over and works there during the day. He actually has two twins who are young and deaf. It just so happens Punjabi is his mother tongue. Taylor speaks Punjabi. Such a rewarding day.

Service Shenanigans (wish I'd take photos with El Cerrito English!)
From top left clockwise:
1.Out with a zealous youth right before we knocked on the door of his next return visit with an adult. His goal is to start a door step Bible study! 2. Driving on the new Oakland Bay Bridge while covering the Portuguese territory. I was tempted to marvel at the industrial looking 77 year old Bay Bridge being demolished. How different the world was 30 years ago! 3. We had missed our exit. Not having eaten for seven hours since breakfast, having to take a toll bridge into SF with traffic was NOT fun. Although we make it seem so. 4. Metropolitan cart witnessing at the local BART station during rush hour. 5. Working Portuguese territory. 6. I'm hungry. But wait. First, lemme take a selfie.
