Spring break

       I went to Seattle with my roommate, and I stayed at her house for ten days. It took about six hours from Salem to Seattle. I was so tired, but I was excited because I had never been to Seattle.
 

The day after I arrived there, her family took me out to an island.
 The island is famous for watching whales.I couldn’t see any, but I liked the place since the sea was so beautiful. It reminded me of my hometown.                                                    





Also, my roommate guided me around Seattle on Monday. We went to Pike Place Market, and there were many fish, industrial art objects and restaurants. There is the original Starbucks there, so it was crowded with many visitors. We bought some coffee. Moreover, we noticed that the mark of Starbucks is special. 

 

 In addition, she told me about the gum wall. Most people don’t know why people put gum on the wall, but the wall is full of chewed gum. It was so interesting. Although I wanted to put gum on wall, I didn’t have a gum. I will try to do it if I have an opportunity to go to Seattle again.

 

 

After that, we went to the Space Needle. It is known as the symbol of Seattle by people. When I saw it for the first time, I couldn’t see the top of the Space Needle. It was very high.

 

 

 

On the next day, we went to see cherry blossoms at University of Washington. I thought the university looked older than Willamette University, but it isn’t true. The cherry blossoms were so pretty. Then we went to a library in the university, and we looked the biggest book in the world. It was good.    The library looked like Harry Potter, so I liked the place.

 

On March 29, we dyed eggs for Easter. It was so fun. We made colorful eggs. I was interested in Easter because most Japanese don’t have this event. I had good time over spring break. I thank my roommate and her family.

 

I will study English hard, and I hope I have an opportunity to go to Seattle again.
