What a splendid scene !!!

I went on a Southwest trip for a week. It was my first time to visit Southwest, so I was excited especially about the Grand Canyon. I could learn a lot of things about Southwest through this trip for example Native American history and culture. Before this trip, of course, I learned about them in a class. But it was different between seeing and listening. Our teacher taught us history and culture about Southwest. But I couldn't imagine and understand well!!




We visited many museums and churches. But I'm not good at history so they were boring a little for me. My favorite places of Southwest are Acoma Pueblo and Grand Canyon!!! It was very interesting for me to see the Native American life. Acoma people live on the top of Mesa. I couldn't believe that they still live such a high place. The view was really amazing!!! It was so beautiful!!! But their living is severe. In winter the temperature is minus forty five degrees. I can't imagine!!! I was surprised to hear that. But I want them to keep their life-style forever.


Grand Canyon is the most beautiful sight I have ever seen!!! When I saw Grand Canyon for the first time, I was moved and almost cried. I didn't know such a fantastic place. I thought I can die there!! I took a lot of pictures. But the view with my eyes was more beautiful than pictures!!! That magnificent view can't settle in a picture. I want to visit there again!!!
