Great fish : Sturgeon by HeeJoong, Lim

I’ve stayed here in Portland for a week and every life has become routine. Today, I’d like to introduce all of you about my travel to watch sturgeon with my host family. Last Saturday, we went to watch sturgeon which is  one of the largest fish in U.S. It is located near the Columbia Gorge. I don’t know exactly where it is placed. From our home, it took about 30 minutes to get there. First of all, we had lunch because we were so hungry. We had turkey sandwich, pepsi, and some fruits. Its taste was so fine as the weather was beautiful that day. Later, we went to watch sturgeons. I saw so many hatcheries while going there. There are a lot of little trouts and sturgeons. The hatcheries are covered with robes because of protecting them from other adversaries such as birds. We arrived at the sturgeon house and watched them by the window. The size of sturgeon was so big that I couldn’t measure how large it is. Tricia said that sturgeon are more than 3 meters after their age of one thousand. Sturgeons look like an ugly witch. It moves slowly but it made me feel frustrated with horror. They don’t have bones but they have a type of bone which is in our nose. I don’t remember exact term for that. Following that, we took some pictures and went to see the trouts which are also located near the sturgeon house. They were much smaller in size than sturgeons. They are not impressive than sturgeons. I’ve never seen those fish in Korea. It was really wonderful time for me to experience something new. Always challenging something fresh makes my mind more challenging and hopeful. Someday, we can visit some peculiar animals together. It was a really nice and wonderful trip.
