My Wonderful Time at Grand Canyon

Have you ever been to the South West? This is my first time to go there. I had a very good time on this trip. I saw many admirable views such as a sunset, sunrise, and daytime view and so on. I could wonderful experiences at Grand Canyon. I tell you about my wonderful South West trip. My memories at the Grand Canyon are awesome.

The Grand Canyon View
First, we went to see the marvelous sunset at the Mother Point at the Grand Canyon. There were many people, especially there were many Japanese there. When I saw them at first, I was surprised because I didn’t think there were many Japanese at the Grand Canyon. The view of the sunset was marvelous. I took a lot of pictures and also a lot of other people took pictures too. I took pictures with friends. We took a group picture and it is one of my precious treasures. The sky was pink and blue, so it was great and gorgeous. I had never seen such a beautiful sky. It made me speechless. Of course, when I saw the sun set down, it was mystic. I could see the best sunset in my life.

Second, I saw the fabulous sunrise at the Grand Canyon. It was my first time to see the sunrise. The scenery was also gorgeous. However, it was so early in the morning, about 6 a.m., so it was very cold. I regret that I didn’t bring my down jacket. I just stood on the rock and I saw the scenery. Some people like to take pictures, so I depended on them. I think it was my first and last time to see the sunrise at the Grand Canyon, so I had an extremely precious experience. When I saw the scenery, I thought the nature was important for us. Without nature, we can’t live. I was impressed by the view of sunrise.

The Sunset view
Third, I did a cycling trip at the Grand Canyon and this experience made one of my precious memories. It was very hard for me to cycle because I didn’t do exercise at all before. However, I didn’t regret cycling. There were many slopes there, so I felt really tired. Also during cycling, I had already muscle soreness because I seldom do exercise in Japan. However, the view was really really awesome, so it didn’t matter. I can’t believe I was at Grand Canyon. We took a lot of pictures there and these pictures are my treasure.

In short, my experiences at the Grand Canyon were essential. I was really happy to have decided to join the extension. If I didn’t come to America again, I wouldn’t have been able to go to the Grand Canyon. I really wanted to see it, so I enjoyed the trip. This trip is one of my best memories in my life. I won’t forget it forever.

Fabulous Southwest Trip

    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

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

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...
