March 10th (Thu.)

We went to Zaion National Park. We climbed a mountain. It took about an hour and a half to go up. There were chains to hold on, but it was scarely. The scenery from the top of the mountain was wonderful!

March 9th (Wed.)

We stayed at a motel and came back to the Arches Natioanl Park. For the motel, it cost 40 dollars for a room of two big beds. For the National Park, it was 10 dollars for one car and a ticket was valid for a week. We hiked to a big arch. The scenery was gorgeours!

March 8th (Tue.)

We went to Arches National Park, north of Moab. Arches were formed by wind and rain erosion on Sandstone. The arch of the picture is called, Delicate Arch. I liked it best. On the way back, I met a bunch of Japanese students from Kato Gakuen, numazu city. They were 1st grade high school students and came to Utah for an English program.

March 7th (Mon.)

We went to Antelope, an island in the Salt Lake by car. We visited a rancher and hiked a mountain. There were some buffaloes and deer. Although we did not climb up the top of the mountain, we enjoyed great scenery.

March 6th (Sun.)

Today we went skiing! The ski resort that we went was huge! It had more than 30 slopes and slopes were loooooong. They were separated into three colors, green (the easiest), blue (more difficult), and black (the most difficult.) It was a nice whether, there were not many people, and I had a great time.

March 5th (Sat.)

My boyfriend and I arrived at the airport around 3am! His mother and younger brother picked us up. I was so sorry for them. We took a nap and went to the airport to pick up two other couples. They came from Philly and Oregon. I met the couple from Oregon five months ago. It was great to see them again.
Today I fired a gun for the first time in my life. I shot bottles with a pistol and a rifle. The pistol made an incredibly big sound when it was fired. It was very difficult for me to aim the pistol at a bottle, but I could break some bottles.
