Before my trip to the mountains, I used to be a homebody. I felt completely 1 spending weeks or even months—in my hometown or sometimes even on my block—without going anywhere. I could be quite disappointed by watching the Discovery Geographic Channels.
The situation 2 when one day David, my best friend, rushed into my room and talked me into joining him on his journey to the Rocky Mountains. We 3 five days later.
This was my first time in the mountains. 4, the weather was foggy most of the time. And the 5 we got into the mountains, the less clearly we could see. On the first day, we were making our way along the foothills; but the next day, we started to climb on one of the peaks(山顶). 6 it was not that straight and high, I was still excited. I regularly speeded up, and because of that I ran out of 7 long before we got to the top.
When we finally got there, 8 had really changed. The same 9 was nearly covering everything. I felt so disappointed, because I had, during the whole course of climbing, 10 to see the view from above and perhaps to be able to take some photos. We spent a couple of hours on the top, and decided to turn back, when the wind suddenly 11 the clouds. And the place we were standing on was 12 with the sun. I saw a fantastic panorama(全景图) in front of me, and for some moments I couldn't 13 my eyes. It was so amazing that I realized I couldn't help looking forward to the next 14 to the mountains.
The next day we returned—my 15 started to hurt so badly that I could hardly walk. But every time I felt an ache, I remembered the feeling of being high above, with my head touching the skies and the clouds swimming below.
