It's been a month since I had my spring break and finals are approaching, but I don't have any chance to update about my trip. So here we go.

I had an exam that evening, and after I had finished with it, I took a bus to Kansas City. My first destination is to Denver, Colorado because I was joining my friends trip.

I took the first flight and arrived Denver at around 7.50 am. My friends took me from the airport and we started our journey to New Mexico. We arrive Albuquerque around 6 pm and check in the hotel. We went to the Old Town after we settled down and the town is really like one of the Mexican movies if you ever watched one.

The plan for this day is to go the Sandra Peak Mountain by tram. We basically went up there by a huge tram and it was quite a nerve. The weather was hot at the bottom of the mountain, but you could still saw snow at the peak, just to give you an imagination of how high the mountain is. But the view is a catch.
Then we went to the Balloon museum. Albuquerque, New Mexico is known for their hot air balloons. Every year, there will be a season for hot air balloon festival and people around the world would gather here to participate in the hot air balloon competition. Even while we were on the road, you could see many hot air balloons in the air.

We spent the night in Roswell, New Mexico. Our next adventure is at Carlsbad Caverns National Park. It is a natural limestone cave and we have the opportunity for spelunking. Here's a picture of the inside.

We move on to our journey to Texas. Our first stop in Texas in San Antonio. Early in the morning, after we checked out from the hotel, we went to Mission San Jose. Basically, it is the historic building where the Spanish influence the red Indians to join them fought against the Europe. We could see that people actually living in a house made for the wall that protect their city.
Then we went to The Alamo, which is a mission too. But with more tourist as is is located near the downtown. When we were at the Mission San Jose, we could not find any young people, so we declare "We are the oldies". Just kidding :D Then we walk to the Riverwalk. Riverwalk is located across the Alamo. We walk from The Alamo to the Riverwalk. Riverwalk is the reincarnation of Venice, Italy. Hahaha. It is so beautiful with many restaurants across the river, and we ride the boat.
Told ya, I'm in Venice.

We were in Austin. Our activity in Austin is burning ourselves while water biking. The weather today is quite hot, and I have stomach-ache, so I did not have any tourist mood that day. I was wearing track-suit and you could imagine, I was like a school kids who missed her bus.
That's me who looks really unsettling with the nice view of Austin city.
This is my favorite part of this trip. The Hamilton Pool, The view was so magnificent, that I can't even shut my mouth. I feel like living here and smell how fresh the air is. SubhanaAllah, He created it so perfect that nothing could ever duplicate it. Being here, made me appreciate more what I have. Made me have this weird dream of traveling my whole life.
We have two more trips, but I'm too lazy to write in this post. I''m going to post it in the next post.
