Real hiking and . . .

Maybe it seems a little late to write something about the hiking I took days ago, however, I think after times of review I can express my feelings more objectively and clearly.

Facing with the SGO choices, I made up my mind without hesitate to sign up for hiking. I used to think that I'm good hiker because I started to travel with my parents before I attend ed to primary school so that I have gone to many places of interest in China and gone hiking there. Also, I love nature scenery very much, and I don't want to lose the chance to enjoy the nature beauty in America. To be honest, I had no idea of what we would see in hiking before the trip started.

And then the trip started. At beginning, what we did was just the same as what I had done when traveling before. We walked on the road, which was a little muddy because of the rain, and took photos. I walked with caution because the road was a little slippery while my shoes had heels( all shoes I took here have heels, so I could not choose a better pair orz).

We watched people jumping from a huge stone into the water, that was really interesting! Considering that we didn't have clothes to change, none of our group members had a try. I tried to take photo of people who did amazing diving, but the result doesn't live up to my expectation . . .

However, everything changed after we made a decision that we took another way. We started really hiking then and we walked slowly with the help of tree root. It was really a difficult work for me because of the big gradient and slippery as well as uneven way. I couldn't make it to finish the trip without the help of my teammates. They were so kind that every time I was trapped, they gave out they hands without hesitate. I really appreciated that. The scenery was very beautiful and it remained me of the pictures of forests in the movies the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. I felt very lucky to have made such a decision. I enjoy the real hiking and being close to the nature, tired but happy. Hans took good care of us and we really had great time.

The only pity in the trip was that I forgot my new bought ring in the restroom in old man cave. I just bought it days ago and I like it very much, so you can image how sad I was to lost it. But one should not be influenced by bad mood. If I kept a sad face, I would missed more than I already have. So I tried to think in good way. Maybe it just likes the ring in the novel the Lord of the Rings that it will find its real owner and I'm just not the right person. I told myself that I'm surely to find a better one in the future! Another thing I must keep in mind is that I should take more care of my own things.
