00:00I can't wait to find out where your trunk might land, Appu.
00:11I hope it's some place with lots of amazing things to see.
00:17I'm waiting with my paws crossed.
00:19The United States of America!
00:26Beautiful!
00:30Who's that tall lady holding a torch?
00:36That's Lady Liberty.
00:37She's a symbol of New York.
00:40She was a gift from France.
00:42Why is she holding a torch?
00:45She stands there for greater good of all people.
00:48She holds a torch to welcome people to the land of freedom.
00:52What a warm welcome symbol!
00:55Now I'm in a New York state of mind.
00:58Are there any other New York City sights to see?
01:02Perhaps that!
01:06The Empire State Building!
01:08Let's go!
01:14Everybody seems to be in a hurry in this city.
01:18Pretty breathtaking, huh?
01:24It's one of the oldest buildings.
01:26It's over a hundred stories high.
01:27Where else in the USA can we find something that fills our eyes?
01:32You could go to Washington D.C. or the Grand Canyon.
01:36What's so grand about the canyon?
01:39Let's go and find out!
01:48The rocks in the Grand Canyon are half as old as the earth.
01:51The place is also home to a number of Native American temples.
01:55Incredible!
01:56I'm tired.
01:59We've barely walked anywhere.
02:02Call me a drama dog, but I can't take one step further.
02:06I can carry you if you want.
02:08I'm a beast of burden.
02:10I'm strong and tough and I've hiked this canyon all my life.
02:13This place certainly fills your eyes.
02:17And your soul.
02:18Can you believe it?
02:20This place is almost a billion years old.
02:23And it's been home to a million kinds of animals.
02:26Some don't even exist today.
02:32What would be a good place to meet the animals of the United States?
02:37Yellowstone Park.
02:38I hope it's not as steep as this canyon.
02:41Let's go!
02:42Hiya!
02:43You're one fuzzy bear.
02:44I'm not a fuzzy bear.
02:45I'm a grizzly bear.
02:46Did you just wake up?
02:47Yes, I did after my long winter's sleep.
02:48Boy, do you oversleep.
02:49Well, that's how I beat the cold.
02:50I hibernate.
02:51And now I'm really hungry.
02:52Let's go.
02:53I'm hungry.
02:54I'm hungry.
02:55I'm hungry.
02:56I'm hungry.
02:57I'm hungry.
02:58I'm hungry.
02:59I'm hungry.
03:00I'm hungry.
03:01I'm hungry.
03:02I'm hungry.
03:03I'm hungry.
03:04I'm hungry.
03:05I'm hungry.
03:06And now I'm really hungry.
03:07I want to go get some salmon.
03:09I eat a quarter of my own weight when I feast during salmon season.
03:13So, you store up all the food in your body.
03:18Wow.
03:19Are those buffalos over there?
03:22They're the great American bison.
03:24They almost got wiped out once, but now they're making a big comeback.
03:27So are the gray wolves in Alaska.
03:29They're coming back with a bang.
03:31And now I'm hungry.
03:33Bon appétit.
03:35So, where should we go next?
03:38Someplace where there's good music and food.
03:40I'm starving for both.
03:42Hmm.
03:44My yogic senses are taking me somewhere.
03:48Let's go.
03:54I sense that we should go on a boat ride on this river.
03:58I'm glad I don't need to spin that wheel.
04:01What's this river called?
04:05Mississippi.
04:07Mississippi.
04:08Now that's a mouthful.
04:17Hear that?
04:19Lovely.
04:20Tiger?
04:28Hiya.
04:29What can I get ya?
04:30New Orleans must be the place known for this food, I suppose.
04:35Yes, it is.
04:36Cajun spiced broccoli.
04:38I'll have that, please.
04:40And what's this music called?
04:43It's jazz.
04:47Gumbo?
04:48What's that?
04:49Is that made of jellos?
04:51It's a stew made from meat and vegetables.
04:53You should try some.
04:55Wow.
04:56This broccoli tastes like a flaming forest of trees.
05:01Spicy.
05:02Whoa.
05:03My tongue burns.
05:05Is there smoke coming out of my ears?
05:07There you go.
05:08Some lemonade.
05:09Cajun food is really spicy.
05:25We dare to believe
05:29That we can
05:31And we will
05:33Cross every ditch
05:35Every valley
05:37And every hill
