Trip Anecdotes III
After we spent five days in San Francisco, we went to Mariposa, a small village near Yosemite Park. Our hosts in Mariposa were simply wonderful. A 60 years old couple who were very kind to us and they spent a lot of time giving us many tips about the best trail to do in the park in one day. While we were talking, a Belgium couple went into the living room. They were other guests and they came from a ghost town in the north of California. They need eight hours driving to get the place, so the first thing the woman said was: "I've already crossed Belgium from north to south two times". It's funny how you face the distance depending on where you come from.
