Spring break

         I went to Redwood Coast in California from March 24th to 28th with the outdoor program. We drove down for 6 hours from Salem. I had two Korean girls and one French girl as members, so we taught our own languages to each other using English. It was fun. The first evening, we went to a restaurant near the ocean. I ate some shrimp sandwiches and they were so good. When I left the restaurant, I found one picture that was showing the damage of Tsunami that happened on March 11, 2011 in Japan. I got very surprised, because I didn’t even know the Tsunami  reached there from Japan. At night, we stayed at a small cabin. It was the first time for me to sleep with a sleeping bag. It was uncomfortable, but more warm than I expected. We also played some card games together. On the second day and the third day, we hiked a lot like, about 6 miles. Unfortunately, the ground was so muddy, but the trees were beautiful and so huge. I had never seen huge trees like those. I ate PBJ at lunch there. It was just PBJ, but I thought it was so good. I think that was exactly because of natural surroundings. The last two days, it as raining so hard, so we couldn’t hike enough. However we drove around the city, and then we ran into a herd of wild elk. They were so cute. I bought some postcards for my family at the visitor center. The weather was not good, but it was a good trip. I had fun with people I didn’t know until then. I think we had good communication as well. The nature made me feel relaxed. My spring break was awesome!
