raging forest fire in southern California + updates of my trip

Huge fire is raging in Southern California, almost four times the size of San Francisco is burning. In three days, only 5% fire has been contained, so it will take a little while before the area is cleared and fire extinguished. We saw live telecast of the fire which has claimed lives of 2 fire extinguishers and gutted more than 50 homes. Due to this fire, our trip to Los Angeles stands cancelled, as the smell of the fire has spread to Universal Studios where we were planning to visit this weekend.
Last weekend we went to Yosemite National Park and there too forest fires could be seen from afar. The park has tremendous scenic beauty owing to the lovely waterfalls, mountains, Merced River and some nice spots like Glacier Point. Half dome,a mountain top with the shape of a dolphin, stands out among the mountains visible from Glacier Point. Both the Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls are visible from the same point. Glacier point is so called, because the whole area below it was a glacier some 14000 years ago which had formed several V-shaped valleys in its path. We went to Bridalveil Fall for which we had to traverse some rocks on foot. The fall was mighty and the water below was icy-cold.
On Sunday, we went to San Francisco to visit downtown area. It has some world-famous shopping area like Union Square and Fifth Avenue. We visited one of the finest malls, Bloomingsdale. The mall is exquisite and worth-visiting.
That's all for now !! Hope to give more updates on the trip later !!
