I went to Yosemite National Parc last week-end, on a bus trip organised by my school.
Let me give you the bright version of it:
We had a wonderful weather with a blue sky. I had the chance to take a picture of the most beautiful and famous scenery of Yosemite as you can see above! I also had a nice hike in the sequoia forest, admiring the oldest and biggest trees you can find on this planet!
Now let me give you the less glamorous version of it:
We had an 8 hour bus ride the first day, a 7 hour bus ride the second day. After having taken THE picture of the breathtaking view (see above), saturday afternoon was just a sheer waste of time: wandering around a cafeteria, then a few paved roads to end up in a food store...in a wonderful sunny afternoon in one of the most beautiful natural parc of California! As for sunday, we had two hours to visit the sequoia forest (more exactly the pine forest with spotted sequoias) needless to say we just ran to get to see the main part of it, with no time to even eat a sandwich! Yes this is how organised tours are, I should have known...
The good things of this all is that :
- Getting to speak to other students from other language schools, I realised I was very lucky to have chosen St Giles School? When students from other schools mainly complained about the quality of their teaching, I am very happy with mine. Actually my school appears to be well renowned for its quality.
- I almost made a friend... yet she is French (not good for my practice), and she is here for only the next couple weeks.
