In Merced

I left LA this morning to head up north to visit Yosemite National Park. I am currently in a place called Merced. It's not like LA at all. In some ways it makes me think of a classic American town with wide tree lined streets and everyone talking to each other. I stopped in a comic book store and the owner and his wife talked to me for ages. In other ways it reminds me of a ghost town. It's so big and there doesn't seem to ne anyone here! I finally found an internet cafe, but it was closed, at 2pm in the afternoon. In the end I ended up in the library which is next to the courthouse. I saw prisoners in orange jumpsuits being escorted by all chained up. Very odd. I'll be in Yosemite for tonight and tomorrow, but I'm off to try and change my train ticket to Monday so that I can get an extra night up there as it sounds amazing. I don't know if there will be internet there (probably), but rest assured I'll get y'all loads of photos.
