Last Day

8/14/16

Dear H-,

How is your weekend going? I hope you are getting to do something fun.

My vacation is almost over. Right now, I am staying with some friends in a cabin in a town called Oakhurst in California. Oakhurst is south of Yosemite National Park. I've stayed the last two nights in this cabin, and today I will be making the last part of my journey home.

While here, I've been able to spend time with old friends. I've made a few new friends as well. There are 16 people staying in this cabin, so you can imagine how crowded it is!

Yesterday, all of us went to Bass Lake.  Most of the people in my group went swimming in the lake, but I didn't! I don't like cold water, so instead, I wrote letters to my students!

After hanging out at the lake, we all came back to the cabin where pretty much everyone went down to a waterfall that is near the cabin. Unfortunately, I had tried to hike down to the waterfall the previous day, but I had fallen and scraped up my toe pretty bad. I was not feeling so good about hiking down again, ,so I stayed at the cabin and watched the Olympics. My afternoon was great! It was quiet and comfortable in the cabin. 

Now, it is the morning of the last day of my trip. Everyone is getting ready to go. Today, all I have to do is make it from here to the Bay Area. It's been a great trip!

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow for session.

Your teacher,

Elaina

P.S. On the way home, I made one last stop at the quirky Casa de Fruta. It's a hotel, restaurant, fruit stand, gas station ,candy store, tourist train, carousel, antique farming equipment location, and more, all in one stop.
