Best Trip Ever

By
The Southwest Trip was absolutely wonderful. The Southwest culture was really cool and there were so many beautiful places. Each place showed deep, great history of people, nature and art. The southwest culture, especially Acoma was special and completely different from any place. There are 4 beautiful places that showed lots of brilliant history and fascinating culture. 

First, Santa Fe was totally amazing. I liked adobe buildings so much because they all looked so pretty. I could go and see many places, such as the oldest church in the U.S. and some famous museums, and I learned a lot of history. There were many people around the Plaza selling the jewelry which is made by them. So, I really enjoyed learning their culture, shopping and beautiful scenery in Santa Fe.

Next, Acoma was incredibly wonderful place. We visited Sky City, which was a super valuable experience. Acoma was completely different from Spokane, and I was really surprised that people are still living in such a historical place. There were only adobe buildings, and many artists were selling their arts, like pottery and beaded jewelry made by them. I leaned about the history of Native Americans, and visiting Acoma was a precious time for me.

Then, the Grand Canyon was extremely and incredibly magnificent. I had never been to such a beautiful place, and I had a really wonderful time at the Grand Canyon. I went to see the sunrise with my group members, which was an unforgettable memory for me because it was not the same as usual; it was brilliant. I also learned the history of the Grand Canyon, like how was made and how old it is, and it was really interesting.

At the Grand Canyon, I especially enjoyed cycling and having a picnic with my group members. Cycling in the beautiful nature was a really pleasant time because I could feel nature more than walking. Also, having a picnic, which is a brilliant idea, was super fun. While on a picnic I saw four elk from very close distance, and it was one of special experiences of this trip. So, I could feel the great nature of the Grand Canyon a lot.


Finally, the saguaro cactus was really huge and I felt the amazing history of nature again. It was much bigger than I expected, so I was so surprised when I stood next to that cactus. This is a big group picture with all extension students, and I really like this picture. Everyone looks very small because of this big cactus as if it is a composite photograph. So, I learned how nature is magnificent and important in the Southwest.

In conclusion, I had an amazing time visiting many beautiful places, seeing wonderful scenery, and learning lots of fabulous history of culture and nature. I was really happy to go on this trip as an extension student, and I will work harder than before because I got lots of power and energy trough this trip. I want to thank everyone who gave me such a great opportunity.

Fabulous Southwest Trip

By
    The Southwest trip was absolutely amazing because I leaned the culture of the area a lot. I spent 7 days in the southwest and I impressed by people who live there and by their culture. These things were totally different from Japan and the people there preserved their traditions carefully. I talk to a lot of Americans and I saw wonderful nature during the trip. There are three absolutely wonderfu and amazing places that I enjoyed.     First, I went to a lot of museums and all of them were very interesting. I especially liked The Museum of International Folk Art. The museum has more than 130,000 objects from more than 100 countries! My favorite object was a smiling skeleton doll. This object’s theme was Day of The Dead. When I saw it, I remembered COCO which is a Pixar movie. I also liked The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Georgia O’Keeffe was an American artist and she painted a lot of flowers and nature. I think her paintings are brimming with kindness ...

Completely amazing trip

By
I had a good time visiting the Southwest USA with Extension students from 15 to 21, October. It was an education trip and I experienced new things and there was a lot of nature which is comfortable for me. I was looking forward to going on the Southwest trip for a long time. I have image that the Southwest is very hot but this place was cold than Spokane. It was interesting that the temperature was totally different in the same place. There were three emotions that I experienced on this trip. First, I was moved by the beautiful landscape of the Grand Canyon. It is absolutely enormous. When I look down the cliff, I remembered the teacher's caution for us that there are lots of people who die and I scared. I and my roommate wanted to see the sunrise so we tried to got up at 4:00 a.m. and then we could see the sunrise which was really fabulous. After that, we decided to rent a  bicycle but we changed our mind and because we had lots of time. Surprisingly, we walked 10 miles aro...

My Unbelievable Southwest Trip

By
I experienced a lot of amazing things for seven days with my absolutely wonderful teachers and friends from October 15-21 and learned a lot of Southwest culture, history, and nature. For example, we went to about 12 museums and facilities, such as the Pueblo Cultural Center, the University of Mexico, and some churches in New Mexico and Arizona. Therefore, I kept busy on the trip, but it became something I have never experienced because everything I saw was new to me. There are three things that especially impressed me. First, I was attracted to the buildings of New Mexico. These were really different from Spokane, Boston, or Washington D.C. For example, I went to Old Town in Albuquerque. Then I noticed that almost all the buildings were made of adobe. Adobe means mud brick in Spanish, so the buildings I saw were brown and some parts were air blue. I felt comfortable there. I also saw a plaza and a church which were adobe style buildings. The plaza is the most central part in Old T...
