Today we awoke early again and made our way to Yosemite National park. The longer I stay in America the more I realise how much Americans talk, there is no sitting in a companionable silence. Blahdy blah blah blah, in saying that I guess it's good for Phil and I because we suck at starting conversation, he's shy and I'm just a b****y looking person.

Even though I didn't get to see/meet anyone famous, Fame followed me around like a fat American kid follows the Big yellow Mc Donald's sign.
