A tour to the Grand Canyon was held today as well.
I immediately received a photo from the guide at the site, so I will post it.
It's sunny today, unlike yesterday's bad weather in the snow.
There is still snow.

It snowed in the Grand Canyon last night.
It gets colder later than usual this year, and it was barely snowing until last night.
From last weekend (Christmas) to the end of the year, there will be several tours.
I will post a photo of the snowy Grand Canyon from the guide who went to the Grand Canyon today. A lot of people visited the Grand Canyon in bad weather, and it seems that it took more than an hour to enter the national park.

With only two days left this year, New York's holiday season highlights still remain.
The countdown on December 31st!
Times Square is one of the busiest places in New York City. Advertising LCDs that use flashy lights are crowded together, and the neon sign is a gorgeous sight. Even if you haven't actually visited, many people have seen it on TV or in movies.
This Times Square, also known as The Crossroad of the world. It is one of the leading tourist destinations in the world and one of New York's leading tourist destinations. The countdown event, which takes place every year from December 31st to January 1st, is one of New York's most famous and popular annual events, where many people from all over the world gather every year to spend the New Year's Eve.
On the day of December 31st every year, traffic is restricted in this area from noon, and there is a penance that you have to wait here from around 3pm to enjoy the event in the middle of Times Square ...! (Once you enter the area, you cannot re-enter after going out, including the toilet)
This historic event, which began in 1907, has been held without fail except during World War II in 1942 and 1943, but this year we are curious about ...! ??
To avoid crowding of people, it will be held in virtual. There will be a broadcast from 8pm (Eastern Time) on the day at the ABC broadcasting station in Times Square, and you can also enjoy watching Times Square broadcast from 6pm by webcast (↓).

Jennifer Lopez will appear in this year's stage performance.
Although there is no gathering of people like usual, there are traffic restrictions on the day. Vehicles will be closed from the morning of December 31st on 45st to 48st, and will be completely closed (inaccessible) by 3pm between 42st to 49st and 6Av to 8Av.
⚠️ Traffic regulations may change from the schedule announced on the day of each year, so the number of annual events in New York in 2020 has changed significantly due to the pandemic that needs to be confirmed each time, but in this way the shape has changed. However, I feel that the strength of this city is that it still exists.
First virtual countdown in Times

<Gospel Christmas in New York Church>

FM station in Tokyo
J-WAVE [SONAR MUSIC]
As a guest, I made a live appearance from NY in "I want to listen to it now! The world of gospel music!"

I want to listen to a lot of gospel during the Christmas season,

Unfortunately this year
You cannot come to New York from Japan by Corona Pandemic, so

It would be great if the charm of Harlem and the power of gospel could be conveyed through the radio.

If you unfortunately missed it,
Please take a look at this video.

* You can experience Christmas in the churches of Harlem and Brooklyn.

Due to strict regulations, restaurants can only take out, and there is a stay home ordinance in Los Angeles. Over the weekend, I went a little further to explore the home of Jennifer, the girlfriend of Marty, one of the nostalgic movie back-to-the-future film locations 40 minutes northeast of downtown Los Angeles. It was used in Part 3 when Marty, who returned to the present day from 1885, came to see Jennifer taking a nap on the white bench on the balcony on the left side of the house in the form of a Western cowboy.
Although it is now a private residence, the color of the outer wall of the house and the key point benches remain as they are, and I feel the love of the movie by the current residents.
It is supported by such love that you can still see the location.
Thank you.

<Indoor dining, a restaurant in New York City, will be banned again from December 14th (Monday)>

New York
So far, the corona positive rate has been around 1%.
I've miraculously suppressed it with a low number
(Fourth lowest among the 50 states in the United States)

Maybe because there are more opportunities for people to get together during the holiday season
I came here and it has risen to 4.98% (as of 12/11)

Finally, from 12/14 (Monday)

Eating and drinking in restaurants in New York City
It has been banned.

It will be closed again in just two and a half months after being approved on September 30th.

* Outdoor dining (outdoor table) and takeout are still okay, but

It's a shame because I had a beautiful Christmas decoration inside the store.

There are many nice restaurants in NY, so I hope you can survive.

It's been 40 years since John Lennon was shot dead in front of his home in Manhattan, NY.

Even during the spread of corona infection, only on this day
From morning till midnight, many people gathered in memory,

Strawberry Fields in Central Park was more impressive than usual.

I have summarized the impression in a short video, so please have a look ↓

Although it has been reported in Japan, the home waiting order was enforced again from November 27th in California, where I live. The following is an excerpt from the Los Angeles Consulate article.
On the 27th, the Los Angeles County Public Health Service in California issued an emergency order (Safer at) to refrain from going out unnecessarily as the average number of people infected with the new coronavirus in the county exceeded 4,500 over the past five days. Home Order) has been issued. This order applies from Monday, November 30th to Sunday, December 20th, and violations may result in penalties according to the decisions of each county.

This is Naomi Elephant Tour.
We are pleased to inform you that immigration documents to be submitted by customers arriving at LAX related to Corona are now required.
This rule was issued on November 27/2020.

It is a document to the effect that you will comply with the rules of Los Angeles when you enter the country. It seems that customers can apply in advance from the website or use their mobile phones after arriving in Los Angeles.
All you need is a simple phone number, name, email address, etc.
I think it would be nice to let people from Japan know in advance.
However, as the laws and regulations change frequently, changes may occur.
You will not forget it because the staff will ask you when you enter Japan, but be careful as the fine is $ 500.
https://travel.lacity.o…
If you read the beginning of the document, you can enter the country for essential travelers such as study, work and medical care.
However, out-of-state and international migrants, including residents, need to be quarantined for 14 days.
We are currently unable to accept visits such as travel and outdoor recreation.
It may be time to put up with it to stop the infection around the world.

Access to Buena Vista Street in California Adventure Park has explored Disneyland Resort (Anaheim), which opened on November 19/2020. Only the dining and shopping area is open and no rides are driven. Admission is free as it is released as an extension of Downtown Disney. This time is Sunday, the last day of Thanksgiving. I went first in the morning, but I didn't line up until the entrance. If you want to try it, we recommend you to have an early time.
Despite going quite early, there were already lines in the park and at Downtown Disney's souvenir shops.
Cathay Circle Restaurant is already full of reservations until January.
Although the infection was spreading, it was crowded with the love of local Disney. A lot of Christmas trees are displayed and the holiday feeling is perfect. I have enjoyed a walk safely while keeping the distance from other people, the mask, and the hand washing.
At the same time, even more stringent corona measures have been implemented in California from November 30th today.
Especially in Los Angeles, outdoor eating and drinking outside the store is also prohibited.
In the same California, Orange County, with Anaheim, continues to eat and drink outdoors. The actual situation is that even in the same state, there are variations depending on the municipality.
In any case, I would like you to continue to do your best until the park is fully released.

Today is the last day of the four consecutive holidays.
The guide who returned from the two-day tour sent me a photo of Zion National Park and Horseshoe Bend that I visited on this tour, so I will post it.
As you can see, the weather was good and the customers were satisfied.
In the first place, the number of visitors to the tourist destinations of the Grand Circle decreases due to the cold in winter, but as the number of people infected with corona in the United States does not decrease easily, many states restrict movement, so even during consecutive holidays. Regardless, it felt quiet everywhere.
In a sense, it would be convenient to be under this corona because there aren't many people around.

America is currently in the middle of Thanksgiving holidays.
While no tourists from Japan can be expected yet, customers living in the United States took the tour during this consecutive holiday. One of them participated in a 3-day course to stay in Monument Valley.
I have received a photo of today's Monument Valley from a guide on site, so I will post it.

Monument Valley is still not available for sightseeing in the park. Although I couldn't take part in the popular jeep tour, I stayed at "Goulding's Lodge" where I could see the view of Monument Valley from my room, and the local weather was good and the guests were very satisfied.
