2001 American Southwest Trip

Created June, 2001

這可是我二十一世紀的第一趟『大型旅行』呢！結果卻沒有“出國”(出我當時居住的美國)去玩，而選擇了西南四州：新墨西哥州，柯羅拉多州，猶他州，及 亞利桑那州。由我下面的照片，遊記證明，美國在住了這麼久後，其實還是有蠻多好玩的地方的。

This is my first big trip (the first trip completely for pleasure instead of a business trip) in the new century (and the new millennium). I chose a place not that far away from home (relatively): American Southwest!! We visited four states in this trip: New Mexico (my first time to that state), Corolado (my first time there too, besides Denver airport), Utah, and Arizona and also four national parks. We visited one of the most popular city by tourists in the US: Santa Fe. We also drove a lot of miles. In fact, this is the first time in my life that I "drove" a car for more than 10 miles non-stop!

The following is my e-mail travelogues (still badly written in English language) and some photo taken in the trip. Since this is also my first big trip I took with my digital camera (so many first times here), you can expect there are a lot more pictures than before!.
