It's a beautiful day♪[2.25.2010]

今日の放課後、外に出て澄んだ青い空に少し驚きました。昨日は雪が降っていたり、今朝の空は灰色だったからです。思わず写真を撮ってしまいました。春の訪れの証しでしょうか。

I was kind of surprised at the clear blue sky outside after school because I saw the gray sky this morning and it was snowing yesterday. I took some pictures outside, unconsciously. The sky is telling us "Spring is coming!!" isn't it??I hope so...

California[2.13--19.2010]

学校の真冬休みにホストファミリーとホストファザーのお兄さんとお兄さんの奥さんに会うためにカリフォルニアにあるパームデザート(PALM DERT)に行きました。とても暖かいところで、夏のような暖かさに私たちみんなとても喜んでいました。パームデザートはたくさんの木や花がありました。グレープフルーツの木を見つけ、もぎ取り食べました。甘くてとても美味しかったです。今まで見たことのないくらいたくさんのヤシの木を見ることができ、とても楽しかったです。ホストマザーと公園に行ったときには、なかなか見ることのできない鳥であるミチバシリ(写真を載せています。)やウサギやたくさんのアヒルを見つけました。そこは素敵な大きな公園で、とても楽しみました。てっぺんに雪が積もっている大きな山があったり、滞在している間毎日いい天気でどこを見渡しても素敵な景色を見ることができました。ホストファザーのお兄さんも奥さんもとても親切にしてくださり、今まで行った中で一番素晴らしい旅行の１つになりました。
I went to PALM DESERT, California to see my host father's brother and his wife with my host parents for the school's midwinter break. It was very warm down there, We were so glad to get the warm which was like summer. There were many kind of trees and flowers. We found some grapefruits' trees, we picked up some grapefruits and ate them. Those were sweet and very good. We saw lots of palm trees there. I have never seen such a lots of palm trees before. I enjoyed seeing those very much. One day of the trip I went to the park with my host mother. We found a road runner, which is a rare bird, a rabbit and lots of ducks. It was a nice and big park. I enjoyed it so much. There were beautiful views everywhere I could see in the place we went to, because of some huge mountains whose tops were covered with snow, and a nice weather every day we stayed. My host father's brother and his wife were really kind to me, it was one of the most wonderful trips I have ever been.

SKI WEEKEND in Canada☆[02.05--07.2010]

↑アメリカとカナダの国境です!!

↑This is the border between America and Canada!!

パスポートとともにカナダのロスランド(Rossland)へロータリーのスキー旅行に行きました。ロスランドまでは車で三時間半ほどかかりました。昨年の夏会って以来私と同じ地区の派遣生には一度も会っていなかったので彼女たちと久しぶりに会うことができとても楽しかったです。二日間教会に泊まり、土曜日と日曜日にスキーをしました。ロスランドはモミの木がたくさんあり、木には雪が積もっていてとてもきれいでした。二日間それぞれ一時間ずつスキーレッスンを受けました。土曜日はスキーの後、プールに行き、夕食を食べ、ゲームをして、忙しい一日でしたが、とても楽しかったです。ホストファミリーのお家へ戻ってからはとても疲れていましたが、私にとって初めてのカナダ旅行をとても楽しむことができました。

I went skiing in Rossland, Canada, which was for the Rotary tour, with my possport. It took us about three and half an hour to get there by the car. I haven't seen exchange students who are in the same district as mine, since last summer(It was the first time I met them. ), so it was lots of fun for me to see them again. We stayed at the church for two nights, and skied on Saturday and Sunday. There were many fir trees in Rossland, and the tree were covered with snow, it was so nice looking. We took a ski lesson for an hour each days. On Saturday we went to pool, dinner and played some games after skiing. It was a busy day, but very fun. After I came back to host family's house, I was so tired. However I enjoyed my first trip to Canada, very much.
