Mes vacances de printemps
M I C H AE L
P RU E T
La semaine dernière, je suis allé à Chicago avec des amis pour les vacances de printemps. Il nous fallait presque 12 heures dans une voiture pour arriver, mais c'était assez amusant! Nous sommes allés au
Field Museum, où nous avons vu une exposition sur Genghis Khan.
L'histoire de l'Empire Mongol était intéressant. Après le musée, nous
sommes allés à Navy Pier pour dîner. Nous avons mangé à un café en
plein air. Notre serveuse était russe, et très sympa. Nous avons visité
Millenium Park aussi, et je l'aimais bien. Mais, après seulement quelques jours, qui semblaient trop courts, nous sommes rentrés à Baldwin City pour commencer de nouveau avec nos cours.
My Spring Break
Last week, I went to Chicago with friends for spring break. We
spent almost twelve hours in the car to get there, but it was pretty
fun! We went to the Field Museum, where we saw an exhibition
on Genghis Khan. The history of the Mongol Empire was interesting. After the museum, we went to Navy Pier for dinner. We
ate at an outdoor cafe. Our waitress was Russian, and very
friendly. We visited Millennium Park too, and I liked it a lot. But
after only a few days, which seemed too short, we returned to
Baldwin City to begin classes again.
