Welcome to beautiful SEDONA! The land of the Red Rocks
Wigwams outside our Ranch-style hotel in Williams, AZ
Here
in Arizona, everything is different from the East Coast, so it is very
interesting for all of us to see… Our time zone also changed- we are three
hours behind all our friends and family back “home”… And some of us thought
that our home countries, like Thailand and Mexico were hot, but here it is
REALLY hot! It was 109 degrees (42 Ceclius) today!!! It is also dry because we
are in a desert.
We
chatted a lot and met many new people throughout the day… Starting with the
wonderful buffet breakfast, then on the bus, and at the hotels, people started
to exchange pins and business cards. We are feeling like the trip is getting
off to a great start!
Today,
we had a city tour of Phoenix- the Valley of the Sun- and saw many famous
buildings throughout the city. We stayed in the bus most of the time because of
the “warm” weather, but we stopped at the state capitol building for pictures,
and then we stopped at Papago Park to walk and see a cool rock formation. It
was a huge hole in a rock, called “Hole in the Rock”. We also went shopping,
ate lunch, saw lots of cacti, walked in the heat, and saw the famous Red Rocks
of the West! in Sedona. We had a fun bus ride to the Grand Canyon. We all sang
along with the music on the bus. It is so cool that, even though we are all
from different countries, we can still come together with American music.
Tomorrow
should be even more fun than today because we will discover the Grand Canyon
together! The weather should be nice, too! (80 degrees!)
