Fantastic and Beautiful Southwest Trip




              What do you think people can do in the Southwest? In the Southwest Trip, we can know about learn about the architecture, Pueblo society, see the Grand Canyon, and so on. That’s to say, the Southwest trip can many experiences.


              First of all, Santa Fe is one of my five memories. I went to Santa Fe and stayed about two days. Santa Fe was a very beautiful city, and also food was so delicious. Extension students went on tour of downtown Santa Fe, for example, we went to Mission San Miguel, Loretto Chapel, St. Francis Cathedral, and so on. My Pecha Kucha Southwest topic was Loretto Chapel, so I was impressed by the miraculous staircase when I saw it. 





              Second, I went to Acoma Pueblo, and I saw many houses on the cliff. The scenery from the cliff’s top was so amazing and wonderful, but I thought this life is little difficult to go shopping or school. Acoma Pueblo’s church was treated closely by Acoma Pueblo’s Native Americans. I strongly felt Acoma Pueblo is a holy place. 





Third, I saw the sunrise from the Grand Canyon and the sunrise was so beautiful. On October 15, my group members and I went to Hopi Point to see the sunrise. We felt very cold until rising the sun. Finally, we could see the sunrise at 6:37. I have never seen the moment of rising sun, so I was very impressed! The sunrise from the Grand Canyon was so beautiful!!






              Fourth, my group members and I rode bicycles and did cycling at the Grand Canyon National Park. The cycling was very fantastic, because we could see many different Grand Canyon’s scenes. We thought we couldn’t go to Yabapai Point, because we had to return bicycles, but we lost our way, and then we reached Yabapai Point! We were very surprised and become happily!






              Fifth, on the way to cycling, we did picnic outside. Before riding the bicycle, we bought lunch food at the Grand Canyon market. The lunch was so delicious and our talking was very fun! We said “Today is the BEST DAY EVER!”



              To sum up, I experienced a lot of things on the Southwest trip. I could know about Native American life, and also I could cultivate my group relationship! I will not forget these memories forever.

Unforgettable Southwest Trip

By
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 ...

My Valuable Southwest Trip

By
Last week, we took a trip to the Southwest for 7 days. This trip was an absolutely wonderful memory. I had never been to these areas so I was stimulated by every things, for example, cactus, adobe style buildings, Native American culture and amazing dessert views. It is one of the most interesting trips I ever took, because I experienced some rare things like visiting Grand Canyon, visiting high school and so on. On this trip I could understand about Indian culture from a folk art museum. I would like to introduce some my best memories on this Southwest trip. My first best memory is Georgia O’Keef museum. Actually, before this trip, I was not familiar with her and didn’t know about any of her artworks, but I was looking forward to visiting here because I like art museums. Her artworks were very unique, abstract and absolutely fabulous, and these were very fresh to me. I especially liked bone’s paintings which one of the most famous her artwork, because the color contrast is very c...

Completely amazing trip

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...
