29-30 Apr- Yosemite

Random deer along the way. It is possible to kill them if they dash out onto the road suddenly.


















Next day, Mammoth Mountain!
A ski resort, snow-covered.


















Took a cable car ride all the way to the peak. They call it a gondola. Yeah I know, gondola is supposed to be that lil romantic boat ride on the rivers of Venice. But nah, cable car is far from romantic. Its shaky, but offers breathtaking view.

Even little kids were happily ski ski skiing down.

Took a photo with random strangers cos they looked so cool.


















On the way down




































Aaaaaaaaaaand, ending off with food.
Shrimp scampi. The shrimps were REALLY HUGE.


















For a better comparison..
