～みなさん、こんにちは～(アリソン講師)

アリソン講師は昨年９月にアメリカ、メリーランド州、アナポリスから日本にやってきました。
日本に来て５ヶ月がたち、日本をとても気に入っているようです。一方、故郷が恋しくもなるようです。そのアリソン講師の故郷であるアナポリスについて書いてくれています。ハンマーでたたいて食べる蟹、みなさんも食べてみたくはないですか。

Hello everyone!

My name is Allison. I am from Annapolis, Maryland in the United States. I came to Japan last September to teach at SES. I have been here for five months now and I am really enjoying it! Japan is a beautiful country and I feel very safe here.

Even though I am having a lot of fun in Japan, I miss home a lot. My hometown was very interesting. Annapolis is the capital of Maryland and there are lots of things to see and do there. There is the historic downtown center with many interesting shops and wonderful places to eat. Annapolis is on the waterfront and I loved to sit down by the docks and watch the boats sail past.

Here is a street view of Annapolis, showing the Chesapeake Bay in the background. The black, red, and yellow flags on the buildings are the state flag of Maryland.

アナポリスで毎年行われるヨットレース。至る所からこのレースを見にやって来ます。

Every year Annapolis holds sailboat races, People come from all around to watch.

私の故郷では蟹は象徴的な食べ物です。夏の間ずっと食べています！

               Crabs are the iconic food of my hometown. People eat them all summer long!

If you're ever on the east coast you should check out Annapolis. It's a pretty cool place!
