Lovely people!
I write to you from the magnificent environs of Yosemite National Park! I've just moved into a lovely house with three other girls, where I have a single and can hear Yosemite falls from my room! Today I went on an amazing 7.5 mile hike to the top of Nevada Falls - it's one of my favorite hikes in the valley. Tomorrow I'm tackling the four-mile trail up to Glacier Point (one of the best views in the park) and then down the Panorama Trail.
The scenery here is unparalleled, but I honestly think my favorite thing about the park is the way it smells......like sun-warmed granite, dry earth, glacial river, cedar, and pine. So heavenly! Every breath is a delight!
Also, I met my boss today! His name is Andy, and he has long red hair and a beard and a great sense of humor. Basically, I am getting paid to hike (and work some at the Visitor's Center). So excellent.
I hope you all are doing well! Come visit me!
Much love,
Ranger Laura

I know I've said this before, but I am tres jealous. I agree with Martha; post some pictures! I need to live vicariously.
