Don't think. Feel!

I went to the Southwest from October 13 to 19. I had many special experiences and I could see many new things. I'd like to talk about the things which were most impressing from my expected.

First of all, When I was on the 1st day in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The feeling of Albuquerque made me relax. I noticed how the streets are charming. Most buildings are made by adobe. Adobe architecture is brown, and there were many many adobe buildings surrounded me. I think the street of Albuquerque are simple because they are unity among the buildings so they made me feel good. In my hometown, there are a lot of people, and always bustling. I felt that Santa Fe atmosphere is very different from the atmosphere my hometown. Santa Fe made me comfortable and The atmosphere seemed to say "Take it easy," "Don't be in a hurry," "Live simply". I could be relax without thinking of my school responsibilities things like that.such as school test or something.

Second, I really enjoyed to seen the view of the Grand Canyon. As you know, it is the most famous canyon in the world. Before I went to the south west trip, I was really looking forward seeing the Grand Canyon. It is one of the greatest pleasures for me. When I went to see the Grand Canyon for the first time, Christopher suggested we stay silent for a while looking the Grand Canyon. I thought that was good idea, because I just wanted to feel the Grand Canyon. First, I couldn't believe that I was standing there. Luckily, the weather was perfect. The Grand Canyon is huge! It looked like a picture, so I don't think it's hit me yet that I've graduated. It was spectacular and beautiful, I can't find the words to describe my feeling. I just cried there.

Third, I met a very nice guy who is our driver. He is 58 years old. I called him "grandpa" because he has many grandchildren. He is very kind and funny. He always made me happy and he was fun. He is my ideal grandfather to me. He called me "grand daughter." I liked it. I really like him, so now I really miss him. We enjoyed our conversation so much. I'll never forget him.

I had a great experience! The landscape and the Grand Canyon and I had a good relationship. During the trip, I could just feel the way they are. Everything was impressing to me was different, but those memories are so important for me and they will become my treasure. I'd like to go there again. Hopefully, I'd like to take my family there!
