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 and I like her touch. These two museums were totally fantastic.
    Second, I went to the Plaza in Santa Fe and it was absolutely fabulous. I want to a lot of souvenir shops there and I bought some souvenirs for my family and relatives. The most fantastic souvenir I bought was a Christmas ornament. It was shaped like a hot-air balloon. Santa Fe is famous for it, and it was colorful and very pretty, so I bought it. After that I went to a restaurant which was recommended by a man at the visitor center. I ate cheese humbargar and it was very delicious. I enjoyed visiting the Plaza very much.
    Third, I went to the Grand Canyon and it was absolutely wonderful. I got up at 5:00 a.m to see the sunrise at the most famous spot to see it. The climate was a little cloudy and absolutely freezing, but I saw a very beautiful sunrise. I also saw the sunset at Mather point and Yaki point. The sunset shined on the Grand Canyon and the color changed to orange. I went to a lot of points at the Grand Canyon and I took uncountable pictures. I saw absolutely enormous elk and I was surprised because they ate leaves on the tree. I impressed by the nature very much. It was the best part of the trip, and I will never forget the scenery.
    Finally, I enjoyed the Southwest trip especially some museums, the Plaza in Santa Fe, and Grand Canyon. I had a wonderful time on the trip and it was the most absolutely fantastic trip for me ever! I will never forget the memories on the trip.

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...
