Diary from Canada ( Day 9 )
- 宿泊行事
“Welcome to the UNITED STATES of AMERICA”
「アメリカ合衆国へようこそ」
カナダ・ホームステイでは、９日目の遠足で、カナダとアメリカの国境を越えました。
ここは、”PEACE ARCH PARK”。アメリカとカナダの国境に両国の友好の証として建てられた真っ白なアーチがある公園です。
※公園は、パスポートがなくても利用可能。
“border”（国境）と書いてある道路標識や、一見、高速道路の入り口に見える”入国審査”を受ける車の列。日本人には、陸路で外国に行く感覚がないので、とても不思議な気持ちになります。
それぞれ、記念撮影や持って来た遊具で、午後のひとときを楽しみました。
＜８月９日（水）の’Home Stay Journal’より…＞
Today I went to the study center and to a park near the American border. It was a lot of fun! And I went to a supermarket. I bought some snacks. They were some presents for my family and my friends. I feel I have got along better with our buddy.

I went to Peace Arch Park. So I went to America! It was a good experience for me. After that I threw around a Frisbee with my friends and our buddies. It was a lot of fun. Tomorrow I am going to go to Gastown. I’m looking forward to visiting it.

I went to the Peace Arch Park. So I was in the U. S. A. for ten minutes. I wanted to be there longer. I went to a store. And I saw many clothes and things that would be good for gifts. I had a very nice time.
