Leaving Yosemite and the aftermath

Leaving Yosemite was difficult. Bass lake was beautiful. Relaxing. It insipired me to do a lot of writing.. It represented a lot of things to me. Most importantly, peace of mind and starting to get over my water-phobia. Finally, after a whole week, we were ready to leave. We packed the car with our excess luggage and drove off. The saddest thing for me wasn’t leaving but simply not being able to return to this place for sometime.

We drove away from the Miller’s Landing and away from Yosemite. We drove for hours until we reached our Motel. It is called " The Days Inn motel " a nice motel located near Solvang. Later that afternoon, we left the hotel to go eat Lunch. We ate at Andersen’s, a Danish restaurant. The hotel is full of stores selling Danish souvenirs and goods. It seems that the Danish exported their art,food and other traditional things to neighboring towns.

Mabye some of them went to other towns after they started Solvang. People say that you can buy whatever you want nowadays because of Globalization. I’m saying that if Globalization occurred in the last few decades then what do they call Danish products being available in the United States. When a group of people immigrate to another country they tend to take local things with them. This makes them not forget their roots and more in touch with their heritage. The Danish did that in Solvang. Since many communities did that , immigrants did influence globalization. If the Chinese didn’t immigrate to America, American’s wouldn’t have known fortune cookies and if Americans didn’t work and travel to the Middle East, Nike wasn’t going to be such a popular brand there. When immigrants go somewhere, they leave their imprints there. This is the real Globalization. When you travel somewhere very far and still feel at home.
