We woke up early in the morning to start our adventure! We a delicious breakfast at the hotel and than headed to our bus! The trip to the Grand Canyon was longer than expected, but the views were so cool! It was much different than what I had seen on my time here in the U.S. so far!
When we finally got there we meet at the Bright Angel Lodge. At the lodge the first thing we did was look down to the Grand Canyon, one of the seven wonders of the world! It was one of the best views of the canyon, there are no word to describe it. It was so amazing! We all felt in love with that.
After getting some instructions we had some time by ourselves to go explor, so with our new and old friends we went to different points of the Grand Canyon. The best point from the Ridge Trail in my opinion was Powell we had just an amazing view just like a dream, we took a lot of pictures.
Some of us ate lunch at the restuarant and others got some food at the cafe. Than we all met up as a group and started stretching four our hike of the Bright Angel Trail! Most of the guys went down to the bottom, others just did half of it. It was really fun but exhausting! We all agreed that even though it was tiring it was so worth it when we were done! We hiked three miles in total!
While we were waiting for the bus to go to dinner at the Maswik Lodge we met another group of exchange students! We were able to talk to them and hear about their experience in the United States as well! Some where even living on the East coast. It was pretty sweet.
Then we went to dinner place which was a restaurant in the park, we had a buffet and it was really good! It was one of the French girls birthday so we all sang happy birthday in our languages.
We came back after that, we were really tired so some of us went to the pool, some played soccer and others
just relaxed in our rooms! Tomorrow we leave for Las Vegas! Everyone is excited for what tomorrow brings!
