クリスマスはコロラド南部で過ごすことにした私達。
We decided to go to Colorado for Christmas.

ただ、道中のユタ州には素晴らしい場所が満載なので、なかなかたどり着けない。例えば、サンラファエルリーフ。
There are so many beautiful places in Utah on the way to Colorado, however, so we had to stop by some and ended up taking extra time to get to the first hotel. San Rafael Reef is one of the places.

もう、日没も近いというのに立ち寄った、アーチーズ国立公園。
Arches National Park is another place we couldn’t resist going to, even though it was close to sunset.

さあ、先を急がなければと思っているのにコロラド川沿いの裏道を走ると、こんな景色。
We really needed to hurry by the time we left Arches, but we decided to take a scenic drive along the Colorado River. It was, after all, heading to our hotel in its own meandering way.

これじゃあ、先に進めない。まあ、ホテルに近づいていることは確かなんで、時間を気にするのは諦めました。
Ugh, it’s so pretty. I gave up worrying about the time.
