Great Time at the Grand Canyon




I had a wonderful time at the Grand Canyon. I was looking forward to going there since I decided to join the Extension program. We were blessed to see the good view although it was sometimes rainy and stormy. We were lucky that we were able to experience all kinds of weather. The experience will be a great memory in my life. I will especially never forget the memories such as impressive view, enjoyable free-time and meeting many people.



First of all, I was impressed by many kinds of overwhelming views. I sensed enormous nature and earth`s history. I can`t explain how it is big. I am small if I compare myself with the Grand Canyon. Seeing the history is interesting. I learned many things from many kinds of rocks. For example, we can see old rocks on the bottom and young rocks on the top. One of my favorite views is the view at the Mather Point. We can fell close to the Grand Canyon. Also, the view made me calm. I have a lot of homework and tight schedules this semester, so I`m always pressed by them. However, that time I was able to forget everything. At night, I saw the stars. It was beyond my description. When I find a shooting star, I was so happy. As you can see, I awesome views fascinated me.

Secondly, I enjoyed free-time very much. On the trip, most of our schedules were decided, but we had free-time all day at the Grand Canyon. It was my first time to spend such a long time with only my friends on a trip, so I was extremely excited. We planned everything, time to get up, restaurants and so on. Actually, our plan couldn`t go as scheduled, but it was really fun. My group members were flexible and had consideration and nobody complained, so everyone was always happy. I was so glad to have such friends. Especially I enjoyed dinner time. We bought foods at a grocery store and ate at our room together. It is rare to eat in lodge together, so I got pleasure. As a result, free-time on the trip was really good.

Finally, meeting many people at Grand Canyon is one of my best memory. I met many foreigners and talked to them. I was tremendously happy when I was able to communicate with foreigners in English. Each conversation was short, but it was memorable. I really remembered the conversation with a woman and man who helped us to find a shop. When we looked for the shop, they listened to our conversations and taught us where the shop is. At first, I was surprised, because we didn`t ask them anything. However, I realized their kindness and felt the warmth of their feeling. All in all, my best memory is conversation with many foreigner at the Grand Canyon.

In conclusion, I had wonderful time at Grand Canyon. First, I was moved the view. Also, I enjoyed free- time. Third, meeting many people at Grand Canyon is super memorable.

Wonderful Mather Point

Unforgettable Southwest Trip

I went on a totally amazing Southwest trip with my classmates. The trip was my first time to go to the Southwest so everything was new to me. Sarah, Anikke and Bethany came with us. They made our trip more exciting. I’m happy I could go on this trip with them and I had a lot of great experiences. First, I really enjoyed New Mexico. It was chilly but not too cold. I went to the Old Town in  Albuquerque, New Mexico. I liked the Old Town because there are many cute things and good restaurants in there. For example, I found a gate that was decorated with a lot of red chili peppers. I had never seen anything like that before so I was very surprised and it looked like a lot of flowers from a distance. The red chili peppers were absolutely gorgeous. Not only that, I found a great restaurant. I forgot the name of the restaurant but they have really delicious Mexican food. They gave me some Mexican chips for free and recommended that I eat the chips with honey. I really like Mexican chip

My most Amazing Three Memories of the Southwest Trip

Last week, I went to the Southwest with all of the Extension students. Before the trip, we learned about history and culture of the Southwest in American west class. So I was looking forward to going on the Southwest trip. But I couldn’t imagine that I could get a lot of memories and experiences on this trip. During this time, we went to New Mexico and Arizona. In New Mexico, I went to Santa Fe and New Mexico University. After that, I went to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Each place has different culture and geography. So I was really surprised and impressed by them. Finally, I got three most amazing memories of the Southwest Trip. First, one of my most amazing memories of South West Trip was downtown in Santa Fe. First of all, I was really impressed by Adobe buildings. I had never seen Adobe buildings before and I thought their design was totally different design from Spokane. The color of the adobe was brown and some of the walls were turquoise blue. So there were a lot of com

Really Faburous Southwest Trip

I had an absolutely amazing experience on the Southwest trip in mid-October. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city areas, delicious food and performances, and culture. I spent a lot of wonderful time with my friends and teachers in Santa Fe, Black Bart’s Restaurant and the Grand Canyon. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city, delicious food and performance, and culture. First, my one of impressive places was Santa Fe Plaza. There were brown houses and buildings made of adobe, and the doors and window frames and decorations were colorful. I like passionate red and turquoise blue color because these colors match the adobe brown color. Also, there were many gift shops in the Plaza, and we could find a lot of native Americans gifts such as dream catchers, pottery, fabrics, unique fashion accessories, dishes, and traditional clothes. I bought a dreamcatcher, some pretty earrings, a ring, and postcards, so I was very happy. It rained at nig
