Hi everyone,

I'm in Yosemite National Park. Have hired a bike for the day and am cycling around admiring the view. Not had internet access for ages but am in San Francisco this wked so hopefully will be able to update this a bit more there.

Thank you for all the messages. Am feeling ill at the moment as have caught a cold which is going around and would rather be at home in bed than camping in the cold fearing attacks by bears most nights!!

However since Chicago have done a lot. Been horseriding - very uncomfortable and couldn't walk afterwards and just seen lots and lots of diff places. Not been able to get photos on here as don't get enough time in internet cafes.

Never go to Nevada unless you in Vegas as it's miles and miles of desert.

Anyway, got to go. Hope e'one is well.

Monica
