We woke up this morning to really hot Phoenix weather, loaded
our heavy suitcases in the bus and got on a road early for our first full day
on the West Coast Trip. The first stop on our tour was the state capital
building of Arizona. Inside the building were few exhibits talking about the
history of Phoenix. We took plenty of pictures with the building and its shiny
copper roof and got back on the bus. Our second stop was a short hike to the Hole
in the Rock, which was much more interesting than it sounds.
After our little
hike in the desert weather we saw a beautiful view and the skyline of Phoenix. After,
we took even more pictures and then we headed to a big mall to eat lunch and go
shopping. Our big Brazilian group watched the world cup soccer game in the bus
on the way to Sedona. We made a quick stop to take pictures with huge cacti and
with our flags. When we got to Sedona we took some more pictures with the
beautiful red mountains and headed to the downtown area to get an ice cream.
After spending some time in the little downtown area and buying some cool souvenirs
we continued on to the Mountain Ranch hotel. The hotel has a big outside area
where we could play volleyball, basketball, soccer, go to the pool or watch
little bunnies hopping around. We enjoyed our great first day, saw some very cool
places and we are excited to see the Grand Canyon tomorrow!
