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.
