ECA (Travel English): ニューメキシコ州・サンタフェ

Hello!

How are you? I hope you had a good Golden Week!

Today, in our new textbook unit, we're going to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the U.S. This is where New Mexico is in the U.S.:

New Mexico is not part of Mexico - it is a state (州) in the U.S. One of the most important and interesting places in New Mexico is Santa Fe. What do you know about Santa Fe?

Here are some pictures of scenes around Santa Fe. If you don't know about Santa Fe, what's your impression (感想) of it?

What ideas do you get about Santa Fe, like the weather, or food, or people? Let's hear your ideas and talk about them with your classmates. 

Take care!
