There were so many good ones to choose from, but my favorite was "Ashes to Ashes," produced by Tennen and sung by KAITO. Honestly, this song's still my year-round guilty pleasure.

楽しかった旅行

 私の家族はあまりお金がないんですから、外国に行ったことがありませんが、ミッドウエストの中でまだ旅行をします。一番好きな旅行はメラメックカバーンスの日帰り。 子供の時、洞窟 (caves) のが大好きですから、家族が夏休みにたくさん洞窟に行く予定でした。メラメックで、歩くツアーをしたり、金を探したり、川船 (riverboat) を乗ったりをしました。ジェシージェイムズのアジトを見るのが面白かったです。でも、洞窟は大きすぎたんですから、全部を見ませんでした。土産店でピンク色のコウモリを買いまして、まだ部屋であります。将来、家族と一緒にまた行くつもりです。  下で、色々な写真です。
