I had wonderful southwest trip. I was impressed by many places, such as Grand Canyon, Santa Fe, Acoma, Pueblo and so on. I could learn many things about histories of New Mexico and Arizona. I was not interesting to these histories at first but now my mind changed completely after I went there. These histories excited me because these cultures were very different between northwest and southwest. Its trip became special memory for me. There were three places that were most interesting to me.

| My Great Native American Friends |
At first, Acoma school excited me. It is kind of school for Native American, so there were many Native American students in there and then its school have various grades from about 9 to 17 years old. It was in middle of desert, so there are not any other building around the school. I ate lunch with its students. Their English was very difficult to understand. They also couldn’t understand our English well, so it was difficult to communicate with them. Their first language is not English. They are also learning English. Nevertheless, they can speak English fluently. I thought it was amazing. By the way, they live in dormitory of the school. Then, they often go to their grandmother and father’s house in weekend because there are not any other place in there. When they go shopping or hung out with their friend, they go to Santa Fe next to Acoma. I thought it’s very hardship and it’s difficult to live in there. I was surprised because most of them want to leave from Acoma in the future. Also, they have never been to foreign country. I could learn many things by talking with them. After that, we did school tour. I was surprised because there are some people who wear military clothes. Its school has a curriculum of military. I was really interested in Acoma school.

| Fascinating The Restaurant |
Second, Black Bart’s Steak House was amazing restaurant. I really wanted to go to the restaurant such a having performance. I often watched such a restaurant at American drama, so I was so happy that I could go there for the first time. All performances were amazing than I had expected. All of the staff can sing very well, so I was surprised by their performances. I enjoyed it during eating. Also, I thought I really want to work in there. I’m not good at singing but I thought they seemed fun to work in there. It became a special memory for me.

| Amazing The Grand Canyon |
Finally, the Grand Canyon is the best World Heritage I have ever been. The scenery was so beautiful I can’t express it with words. When I saw it, as if the time seemed to stop for a while. I thought again that the earth is such a huge. The next day, we had a free time, so I was really looking forward to seeing the sunrise in the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately, I overslept about one hour but I prepare to go outside quickly that’s why I could see the sunrise. Also, I have never seen such a beautiful sunrise and sunset. Then, I really like the time what I wait for sunrise. I knew it was so fast the time what the sun moves. At the time, it was so cold in there but it was getting hot when the sunrise came. I enjoyed to the full to see the Grand Canyon. It is my best memory that I could go there.
To sum up, I had many wonderful experiences in this trip. Also, I bought many historical things for my family and cousin. I’m so happy I could have such an amazing trip. I want to go to the Grand Canyon again in the future.
