On October 12th to 18th I had a really wonderful time at South west trip. We visited New Mexico and Arizona states, every thing was wonderful.

| Santa Fe |
First is Santa Fe. This city is one of my favorite part in this trip. I have a few reasons why I like Santa Fe.First of all, I like atmosphere of this city. There are many traditional buildings called adobe. Adobe is flesh color or blown ,looks smooth and match beautiful weather. Also, almost gift shops, restaurant in Santa Fe is located this Adobe. Second is Jewelries.In the Santa Fe, some of Native Americans selling Jewelries which made themselves on the streets. Almost jewelries are turquoise or silver. Also they has a pierced earrings, rings, necklace,bracelets,and pendants. If we would like to buy this from them, we can negotiate price with them, and can discount. this is one of my favorite part too. Finally is old buildings. In Santa Fe, we visited a few old buildings, The Loretto chapel,The san miguel mission, Saint francis catheadral. Every buildings are old and beautiful,but my most favorite building is The san miguel mission. Because this church is the most old church in the United states.

| Sky City |
Second is Sky city. It as known as Acoma pueblo which Native American live. I was really surprised because this city sits on top of a high mesa. And There has a 250 family home. Also I was surprised when I saw a view from this village. It can see only natures, rocks, ground,and few trees. Then we can enter the old church. It was also amazing, because its colorful than I expect. and still retain in these days. Also at the sky city, few Native American people selling items such as pottery. These pottery has a unique design,and there has a different meaning. For example, If painted lizard on pottery, is means good luck. So It
was interested for me. Also, they sells bread, necklace and another items made by them selves. Another my interested things is, their houses, It made third floor and they use ladder to go up. This Sky city also makes me surprised.

| Grand Canyon |
Finally is Grand Canyon. It was Just Stunning. I have just watched on TV at once Grand Canyon. Even watch on TV, scale is big but fact, I feel the earth. Actually, weather was not so good, but I can saw great view , also I can saw Colorado river .There has a different point, Yaki point, Hopi point, Mother point, Yavapai point, and Mohave point. All point can see wonderful view ,but personally I like Mother point. Because there has unique rock in this point. So looks special for me. And Grand Canyon has also visitor center so, I can leaned a lot of things about Grand canyon.such as how to created Grand canyon. Also at night We can saw Beautiful Milky way. It was really cold, but I can saw shooting stars! It was like fantasy scenery, I was impressed.
It was one of great experience of my life, I'd like to visit again in my future!
