Sarah has posted the pictures of our Half Dome Hike here. So you can see the absolutely lovely scenery and hear a lot more about our trip. Unfortunately, it seems she didn't take any pictures of me (except the last one in Mist Falls, but the shadow with the walking stick - that's my outline) - or perhaps all the pictures of me were hideously ugly, and then Sarah wisely hid them from public consumption (which I thank her for). When I get my pictures developed, I'll post them online too - but I didn't take all that many, I don't know why - the scenery was actually very inspiring. But the good news is, you can see all the beautiful scenery we passed and get an idea of just how huge Half Dome is.
The rest of my trip was wonderful. Despite my claims of pain in my description yesterday of the Half Dome hike, I am really glad we did it, and I am overall, very glad I made the trip out west.
I saw Spiderman (again), toured a bit of Stanford (the hill-less part), and at Sarah's suggestion, we went out to a sushi dinner. I was so happy - not since Irwin and George moved to the tundras of the Pacific Northwest has anyone other than me suggested sushi for dinner. Yesterday, I basically traveled all day. And today, work.
FYI: I posted some of the better pictures on my geocities picture site, here.
