Mystic Yosemite: on the path of John Muir....

USA | Friday, 5 July 2013 | Views [323]

To  walk  in  the  wintertime  in  the  wonders Yosemite national  Park  in  California  is  something  impressive  and  mythical.

During  the  wintertime,  in  the  days  of  the  week, not  many  tourists,   the  atmoshere  of  the  park, when  the  land  is covered

with  snow,  gets  kind  of  mystical....i  said  kind  of....( to  precise  that  this  word  is  abused  nowadays....).

If  you  travel  around  with  some  good  friends,  they  can  tell  you  that  some  centuries  ago, this  marvelous  land  was

inhabitated by  the  Native Indians, ( can't  remember exactly which  was the tribe's name) and while  i  was  walking  in  the paths

sorrounded  by  deep  and  intense  silence, i  was  thinking about  John Muir,  the  first  man  who discovered  Yosemite......

John Muir  was  a Scottish  man, who  was  travellin  in  America  alone.  He  was  probably ad  adventurer  in  search  of 

money,  gold, new  life, strong  emotions......

When he  arrived  in California,  he  probably  did  not  have  any idea  about  the  richness  and  the  immensity of  this

land....neither  about  Yosemite  area.....he  was  an amazing  brave  man.....

He  got on  this  mountains  likely with  a  great  will of  explorations....in  the end  of  nineteenth  century  he  walk in  the  footsteps  of  some

native  american.....we  won't  imagine  how  was  the meeting....how  they  explain  themvelves, how  they  smell  each  others,  how  finally  they  get  an  agreement

of  peace....in  this  virgin  untouched  lands....
