Spring Break in California

Fialan-tsasatry ny lohataona. Nandeha nanao asa maimaimpoana tany Point Reyes California niaraka tamin'ny mpianatra maromaro izaho. Fa nahafinaritra koa ny nahita ny ranomasina pasifika.
C'était le "Spring Break"! Nous avons une semaine de vacances en Avril. Je suis allée en Californie pour un service bénévole. C'etait formidable d'avoir été tout près de l'ocean.
So for Spring Break (March 15-22), I went on a volunteer trip with 12 other students/staff from the University of Utah. We did a service project at the Point Reyes National Seashore. Basically, we went to help remove invasive plants along the seashore. It was nice to be by the ocean. Northern California is cold but still, it was gorgeous.

Ice plants -- considered invasive
Also, on the way to Point Reyes, we went to the Muir Woods to see those amazing, tall redwood trees.

These trees are amazingly tall.

Our group minus the one who is taking the picture.

It was a fun trip. I made 12 new cool friends:
Brent, Zach, Sara, Jaime, Roy, Leo, Tifani, Wu, Jin, Hyo, Rob and Bryan
This trip taught me that differences doon't matter. We all come from different background, but we managed to live together and learned from one another. It was hard to leave these guys.
