5 Senses

     My favorite part of the trip was finally getting to the top and actually seeing the monument and going into the different rooms and learning about everything about how they lived and how they would walk all the way down the hill just to get water and have to hike all the way back up the hill, it was a lot of fun seeing all the names carved into the wood and seeing the dates from way back in 1912, I think it would be amazing if we got to right our names somewhere in the wall or wood or somewhere just so in a hundred years or 7,000 we would be remembered and when people go there in the future they would be like "wow that was so long ago."

      The main part that I didn't like was the hiking so far and stopping every 5 min like when you hike you're supposed to keep going and take a break every now and then when you keep stopping like we did you run out of breath faster and you get tired easier and it takes longer to get there, like I wanna get there quicker than we did just because I wanna learn about all of that stuff quicker and not take an hour to get to the very top.

       What I saw all around me were mountains, different types of plants such as, sotol plant that's really pretty it's like really pointy on the bottom and there's a really big branch type thing and it looked like a really big Q-tip. Some of the others were the barrel cactus and that one you don't want to touch if you were to touch it then the thorns were to attach itself to you it would hurt very bad and multiple would go in whichever part you touch, there were a bunch of different others to many to tell. There were so many different smells when we got up to the ruins all I really smelt was dirt because everyone was moving around and kicking up the dirt but when we were hiking up the hill it smelt really fresh and like flowers and different plants.
     

 We weren't really allowed to touch anything but the stuff that they gave us to touch which was, pottery, corn, squash top, and what they call gum, it's made out of the agave plant. When you stand there for a little while and try to listen you hear different sounds like the bees, birds, rocks falling, leaves, and others it's hard to listen at first because everyone's talking but if you really pay attention then you can hear the leaves falling the plants moving and bunch of peaceful sounds from the different insects.
