The mountains are a beautiful adventure. As you walk up the incline, trees overhang, animals run wild, and rivers roar. All of these are things that keep me coming back to hike. On my most recent hike, while it may have been 100 degrees back home, where I was it was a chilling 40 degrees. As we walked around ten miles up and over the mountain, I took many breaks to catch my breath and take in the majestic scenery. There are also the snow skiing vacations. While you can’t see anything besides snow and trees, the adventure of cruising down the slopes is full of adrenalin. The mountains have always signified an adventure for me. Just like the mountains, life is a beautiful adventure. I do not know yet what adventures are in store for my life, but I look forward to them. I strive to see the beauty in everything.

The sugary sand of a Punta Cana beach is so soft, so perfectly golden that you might think it was synthetic. My favorite thing to do was build enormous sand castles along the shore as the sun blazed down on me, the sand glistened in the sun like an eight karat diamond ring. The resorts are laid out like mini cities, completely inclusive in every way, with many of them offering so many amenities that it made it impossible to partake of everything available,

Richard Rodriguez and Amy Tan are two bilingual writers. Rodriguez comes from a Latin background where both his parents speak Spanish. Tan is a child of Chinese parents.

In spite of the fact that they both wrote about their experiences of being bilingual, they told their stories were for very different reasons.

     The story The Sniper takes place during the civil war in Dublin, where a single sniper waits on a roof top to eliminate any threat from the oposing forces. This story is very tense right from the begining as soon as he noticed the enemys watching him and a bullet comes close to hitting him.

“Calgon, take me away!” When I think of an amazing vacation, I have the imagery of a tropical paradise with the waves crashing on the beach and the sound of the wind rustling in the palm trees. That is close to the imagery the Calgon commercial portrayed. Maybe, I am biased to beach vacations because of the commercial. At any rate, I think an ideal vacation would be either a cruise vacation to a tropical locale or an all-inclusive resort vacation on an island. Both offer the sun, the sea, and lots of fun.

-Go to the mountain tops for views and pictures. These are short lived experiences on the AT and often the views are blocked by the trees. Sometimes there are open rock/cliff areas for fantastic views. However, these rock areas can have more threats than the valleys. Snakes love to hangout on the rocks and if you slip off a cliff, it could ruin your day. In life, we often strive to reach the mountain tops thinking life will be easy. Many times it’s just chasing the wind for a short lived experience and the threats may be higher on the mountain top than in the valley.

Every year people like to take a little vacation to get away from everything. They like to go to the nearest beach, go to a state on the other side of the country, or go visit a completely different country on the other side of the world. They like to look a nature’s beauty from a different viewpoint or taste a different cuisine that they never had before. In my opinion, my favorite place to go on vacation is the mountains. Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg to be exact.

My family used to visit there once a year for about a week in the summer. We would go camping and spend the majority of our time frequenting the beach. Back then I was tiny, but even now I know I would be overwhelmed by the vast space of the sky opened up over me, blue and deep in a reflection of the water below it. I would try with all my might to run through the grainy, hot sand scraping away at the bottoms of my burning feet onto cooler ground, where cool ocean water counteracted the sun’s hot touch. Even as a little girl, the beach wasn’t just a place

There is a relaxing feel of the mountains making it perfect for letting the stress disappear and peace to find its way to one’s soul. There are many people who love the mountains and live in them, but there is so much space that they hardly ever see each other. Less people means that there is less judgement by them, which means there is more freedom to be the person wanted to be without worry about that pesky inner critic. For someone who is not very social and has anxiety whenever I have to talk to another human, the mountains are the perfect place to get away from all of that and be the most relaxed. I love the homey feel and peaceful atmosphere. There are no noisy neighbors or loud machines building skyscrapers, there is a quiet chirping bird sitting on the window sill, a soft, cool breeze rustling the tree leaves,

Its cold, windy, and sunny all at the same time. The beach stretches for miles seeming endless, until it reaches a tall cliff with waves crashing against it. The sun shines down on the moisture in the air creating a “sparkling” affect to add to the view. In some spots on the coast giant rock formations stick out of the water, creating a question on how they formed there. Sea creatures dot the sand everywhere. Walking the beach with sand between your toes is and not a worry in your mind is one of the best feelings. If you time it right early in the mornings and late in the night low tide takes place and you can find sand dollars and unique shells. Beautiful houses and hotels line the beach all with the same withered look they all strive to have, and balconies on every place to capture the view.
