It was a grey day...


...in Yosemite and Mono Lake...



...but with a vibrant group of new friends!!!


...our Rotary International Group Studies Exchange group... 

Omar, Astrid, Jessica, Crystal, Will
from VeraCruz, Mexico!!!

These 5 lovely young professionals came to Mammoth on Wednesday
as part of the Rotary Group Studies Exchange program.  While here
they visited professional settings similar to their own, and of course,
we showed them a good time with dinner parties, shopping, walking around
Horseshoe lake, and our trip to Yosemite and Mono Lake.  They've
been a great group to have visit and we're sorry to see them go so soon...
Here's to our special new friends having a fabulous rest of their trip!!!
