I had a wonderful time taking a trip to the Southwest by an airplane on
October 9 to 15 with students who are studying abroad together for four months.
I visited Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Arizona, and the Grand Canyon to learn about
the history and culture of the Southwest. It was my first time to go to such an
amazing area. I actually have visited this area before so I was looking forward
to going there again. There were three things that I enjoyed most on the trip.
Beautiful Santa Fe |
Second, in Santa Fe. I especially enjoyed Georgia O'keeffe museum. It is not such a big museum. I couldn't wait to go. My teacher taught us about her before going on the trip in there. I like Georgia O'keeffe art. We used an app and saw her picture. If there was something I didn't know, I could press the rewind button and stop. It was very useful. I mainly like her pelvis series, red with yellow in 1945 because it represents sky. The sky is blue or white for our image. However, she painted orange and yellow. I was amazingly surprised. I took notes, While the guide explained people in the tour. You can see her pencil trace. After the tour guide spoke, I checked her information quickly. I was able to find the information. I also got goosebumps. It was really great. I will not be able to have insight like her. I felt Santa Fe is a historical and artistic city.
Third,
the Grand Canyon was awesome canyon. When I arrived at there, I could not believe
the situation. I wondered if this was the real Grand Canyon. The area was
extremely huge so I rode a bicycle for the first 5 hours with some friends.
When I researched the Grand Canyon on the Internet, it said to use a bicycle is
the best way. Moreover, one of my hobbies is riding a bicycle so I was
looking forward to riding it. I was very glad because there is a lot of nature
and beautiful views. We had planned to go to Yaki point which is the best place
to view the whole Grand Canyon. It usually takes about 30 minutes. Although, we
stopped by many spots and took about an hour. As I expected it was surprisingly
beautiful. I took about 50 pictures. These pictures are incredibly magnificent
as if seeing real pictures. I spent all day at the Grand Canyon so I was able
to see the sunrise. I cannot express how huge and considerable the sunrise is.
I understood very much why everyone said you should go.
