The Fabulous Southwest Trip

By

I had a wonderful time with all the extension students during the Southwest trip! I experienced a lot of things that I had never done before, such as talking with New Mexico college students, watching the Balloon Festival, enjoying Santa Fe, and going to see the sunrise and sunset at the Grand canyon. I had the best memories though this trip. In addition, there were three fabulous memories that I enjoyed most on the trip.


Wonderful view at the Grand Canyon
Have you ever seen such a beautiful view? I visited this admirable place at the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is a wonderful place. We went there by bus to see the fabulous view. I couldn't go all over the Grand Canyon because it is huge and wide, but there were many bus stations so I went around the many stations. Everyplace has breathtaking and beautiful scenery. I tried to take pictures many times but each place was more beautiful when seen with the naked eye. So I imprinted these fabulous views in my mind. I was most surprised that the Grand Canyon is more deep and scary than I thought, because some locations don't have a protective rail and have sand and stones a lot on the ground. So I thought I was sliding down. I was so happy to go to the Grand Canyon.

Fabulous architecture at Santa Fe


Second, Santa Fe had gorgeous
architecture and many fabulous sightseeing places and shops. Santa Fe's architecture is very stylish, so it is a picturesque place. I had a great time chatting with people and eating lunch with my friends at a great restaurant. This restaurant is recommended by excellent trip advisers. Moreover, this restaurant is on the second floor and has terrace tables. I thought that I was able to overlook the city during lunch so I wanted to sit down at an outside table. But it was full so I sat down inside the restaurant. I ordered a hamburger which was delicious. Because the food was delicious, I went to this restaurant again for dinner.

Amazing the Ballon Festiva
Third, I want to share about the Balloon Festival because I was deeply moved by it. I have never seen a festival like this, so It touched my heart. I woke up at 4a.m.  The early morning sky was very beautiful because there were many bright stars. Furthermore, when they blew up the balloons, it was also beautiful because they used fire to blow up the balloons. Many people gathered at one place. There was a Coca Cola balloon. The Coca Cola staff wore costumes like clown's clothes. I had a fabulous experience at the balloon festival seeing the beautiful and large balloons.


To sum up, I made many fabulous memories with my friends and my teachers on the Southwest trip. The reason why I enjoyed the trip was because almost all these experiences were a first time for me. For example I went to see the Grand Canyon. Moreover I learned about the traditions and cultures in Santa Fe and I was able to see the Balloon Festival. I will never forget this trip! Additionally, I spent valuable time on the Southwest trip, and I would like to go there again, someday.

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...
