Predict places Mrs. Quyen and her husband visited.
We went swimming at Waikiki Beach as soon as we arrived on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. We took a small plane to Kilauea Volcano this afternoon. The lava was pouring out when we flew overhead. It was very exciting.
Today we went on an eight-hour tour which included Fisherman’s Wharf, the Napa Valley wine-growing area, and the famous prison on the island of Alcatraz in the middle of San Francisco Bay.
This is a picture of Mount Rushmore where the heads of fourAmerican presidents are carved into the rock. Mount Rushmore can be seen from more than 100 kilometers away.
Chicago is often called “The Windy City”. It’s situated right on the shore of Lake Michigan, one of the Great Lakes.
Yesterday, while Dad was visiting the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, I went shopping. I bought lots of souvenirs of our trip.
