After about a month of studying Italian, the Rotary District 5130 Conference was the last weekend of April. The district conference is an opportunity for all of the rotarians from District 5130 to gather(this year in Yosemite) to discuss the year in terms of rotary. All of the inbound and outbounds, along with a few rebounds, came to the district conference to present about Rotary Youth Exchange, explore Yosemite, and have one last orientation/get together before we all either leave for our host countries or return home. It was a great weekend full of driving, smiles, laughter, great people, and more driving. Picture time!(because everyone would rather look at pictures than read lots of writing).

| Our crazy bus ride to Yosemite--first we had to drive 4 hours to meet the bus, then we drove 5 hours on the bus. |
 |
| Playing with our flags in the gym that we stayed in--very blurry since we were all running to get in the picture. |
 |
| Practicing for our district conference presentation--most of us are still in PJs! |
 |
| In Yosemite! We got to take lots of group pictures. It was raining even though there was some snow on the ground. |
 |
| Buddies! |
 |
| The whole group (everyone else at the falls was giving us some strange looks...though for the most part people found it pretty entertaining). |
 |
It was gorgeous in Yosemite!

Final group photo at the district conference...this time we are all in our blazers!

All in all, it was great weekend. It was so hard to say goodbye at the end knowing that there are some people that we may never see again, but I think we were all grateful for the amazing friendships that we made.
