I had an absolutely amazing time through on the southwest trip with fabulous teachers and friends for one week. I went to so many special places such as the Grand Canyon. I really wanted to go there and I was able to have a various experiences at the Grand Canyon. In addition, I ate a ton of southwest food and spicy food during this trip. This trip was most memorable for me for three reason for that.

Amazing Grand Canyon |
First, I had many most amazing memories at the Grand Canyon. I really wanted to go to the Grand Canyon, so my dreams came true. We went to the Mather point at first. That was my first time to see the Grand Canyon. I was really surprised and impressed. It was like a picture, so I was really confused when I was saw that. Then I went to the next point to see the sunset. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous. I was really impressed. The next day, I woke up early. I went to Yaki point to see the sunrise with teachers. That day was really cold and windy, so when I was seeing the sunrise I was really freezing. However I was able to see the totally gorgeous sunrise view. I was impressed again. Then I rode a bicycle at the Grand Canyon with my friends. That was really a good experience for us, so we were excited. When we were riding a bicycle, we could see a beautiful view and we felt such a so good wind of the Grand Canyon. I had a totally memorable time in the Grand canyon. I want to go the Grand Canyon again before I die.

Pueblo burger |
Second, the food on the Southwest trip was totally amazing. We often asked shop staff about recommended restaurants. We know that shop staff know where good restaurants are, so we always tried to find a good restaurant. Thanks to them, we were able to get a good meals every time, especially pueblo burger. I ate a pueblo burger, when we are in Albuquerque. That was my first time to eat a Pueblo burger. It was a little different from an ordinary hamburger to Pueblo burger. The different day, I ate a Enchilada in Santa Fe. I didn't know that food. This was really spicy. I don't like spicy food, so when I was eating this, my face turned to red. However it was really tasty. Then I often ate a taco in various places. Tacos are really famous in southwest. Almost all restaurant has a taco menu, so it was hard to decide a meal. My favorite taco was the taco that I ate in Santa Fe. That was really big, so it was hard to eat everything. However I enjoyed Southwest foods with my friends. I want to eat these food of Southwest again.

Adobe building |
Third, I was able to see some amazing southwest buildings in Albuquerque. Almost all building of Albuquerque were made by Adobe. It's really different between Spokane to Albuquerque. I felt like I was in a foreign country that's why I really liked that. Turquoise is famous in Southwest, so I often saw turquoise blue window flame on the Adobe buildings. Then, I went to Acoma Pueblo. Acoma Pueblo is Native American Pueblo about 60 miles away from Albuquerque. Some Native Americans are still living in there now. I was really surprised about that. They were selling a traditional pottery and food. These building were so historical, traditional and interesting for me.
In the end, I had a good experience at the Grand Canyon, and I ate a ton of Southwest food and I was really impressed by the atmosphere of the adobe buildings. I was able to learn a lot of things through this trip and We could speak English a lot with friends and teachers. I will never forget this trip.
