Physical Geography: An example of physical geography: There was a huge rock, about ten or more feet tall. It was completely covered in moss, likens, and had a greenish hue. Underneath there was a small river flowing, from what appeared to be from underneath the rock. As the river got wider, it had little rocks in it, and trees growing from the sides. All of the trees leaned and curved in weird ways, no trunk strait. Everything was tinted green, because of the canopy of leaves above us. Cultural geography:
An example of cultural geography are the trails we hiked. The trails were weathered, hard, and rocky. They consisted of almost all dirt, and a few bits of mud here and there. . Sometimes the trails were straight, and flat, but more often the trails would curve and shift going up and down hills to allow beautiful views. You could tell the paths were commonly walked, but also that nature had as much control over them as we did. There were common streams that would interrupt the path. But then again, humans would make bridges to fix that problem. The color of the trail would vary. Sometimes the ground would be deep brown, but other times it was a dried out, yellowed color, where not much water reached it. And of course, there were parts of the trail that were all colors of gray, especially when we were near the summit. All the rocks we walked on were each at least a little different.
Another example of cultural geography is their food. Their breakfast was sweet, filled with maple syrup, and 100%delicious. As I walked down the stairs, I could hear the bacon sizzling on the pan, you could smell the tater tots, the potato scent, mixed with the bread they were preparing. At dinner, there would be pasta, all types, your choice of sauce. You could have a meatball, or just painsauce. You could have meat sauce with pasta, or their vegetarian alternative. There was garlic bread, deliciously warm, freshly made. And the dessert! Everyone else had the most delicious smelling brownies, the chocolaty mix perfect. I had the dairy free alternative. I had a chocolate peanut butter fudge like ice cream that practically melted in my mouth. It was delicious
Cardigan lasted three long days Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
