The Southwest trip was the best trip in my whole life. Southwest is totally different from Spokane. Different scenery, food, culture, people and weather. There were a lot of interesting things in Southwest. I would like to talk about delicious Mexican food, interesting and historical places, my favorite art and amazing Grand Canyon.


     The food in the Southwest was very different from Spokane. In Southwest, there is a lot of Mexican food. A waitress said New Mexico’s Mexican food is really similar to real Mexican food. There were a lot of chills and it was very spicy. My favorite food was guacamole which is made with avocado and some spices. I really enjoyed the meals in Southwest. 


At the Palace of the Governors, Native Americans sell turquoise jewelries or traditional pottery. I bought turquoise accessories from talkative Native American women. I talked to her and she taught me about Native American. It was a very interesting conversation.


  One of my favorite artist Georgia O’Keeffe’s art style is different from other artists. She loved Santa Fe, so she could draw wonderful paint like this. I have never seen like this art. Her art has peculiarity such as painting large desert, flowers and cow skulls. I really love her art style.


Acoma Pueblo's architectures, culture and language are very different from the place that I have been.  It is locate in very high elevation place, so the view from the top was amazing. At here, I learned a lot of important things from a guide. This place was holy place. Native Americans' way of living was very interesting. Peoples who met at here were so nice, and they also told about their faith.


     The Grand Canyon was the most amazing place that I have never been. When I first saw the view of the Grand Canyon, I couldn't say anything and I just stared it without blinking. Picture can't tell enough how huge and wonderful the Grand Canyon is. I want to visit here again.


There were amazing views, delicious Mexican food, fascinating cultures, interesting people and very long history in Southwest. Their all were very different from other places. It was great experience for me. Going to different places are very interesting and find differences are fun.

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
