A great summer vacation

I just returned from the greatest summer vacation! It was so fantastic, I never wanted it to
end. I spent eight days in Paris, France. My best friends, Henry and Steve, went with me.
We had a beautiful hotel room in the Latin Quarter, and it wasn’t even expensive. We had
a balcony with a wonderful view.
We visited many famous tourist places. My favorite was the Louvre, a well-known
museum. I was always interested in art, so that was a special treat for me. The museum is
so huge, you could spend weeks there. Henry got tired walking around the museum and
said “Enough! I need to take a break and rest.”

We took lots of breaks and sat in cafes along the river Seine. The French food we ate was
delicious. The wines were tasty, too. Steve’s favorite part of the vacation was the hotel
breakfast. He said he would be happy if he could eat croissants like those forever. We had
so much fun that we’re already talking about our next vacation!

Chicago
Keith recently came back from a trip to Chicago, Illinois. This midwestern metropolis is
found along the shore of Lake Michigan. During his visit, Keith spent a lot of time exploring
the city to visit important landmarks and monuments.
Keith loves baseball, and he made sure to take a visit to Wrigley Field. Not only did he take
a tour of this spectacular stadium, but he also got to watch a Chicago Cubs game. In the
stadium, Keith and the other fans cheered for the Cubs. Keith was happy that the Cubs
won with a score of 5-4.
Chicago has many historic places to visit. Keith found the Chicago Water Tower impressive
as it is one of the few remaining landmarks to have survived the Great Chicago Fire of
1871. Keith also took a walk through Jackson Park, a great outdoor space that hosted the
World’s Fair of 1892. The park is great for a leisurely stroll, and it still features some of the
original architecture and replicas of monuments that were featured in the World’s Fair.
During the last part of his visit, Keith managed to climb the stairs inside of the Willis
Tower, a 110-story skyscraper. Despite the challenge of climbing the many flights of stairs,
Keith felt that reaching the top was worth the effort. From the rooftop, Keith received a
gorgeous view of the city’s skyline with Lake Michigan in the background.

 Going to work in the morning
My job is a long distance from my home, almost 50 miles away. I have to wake up early
every morning, as I’m always in a rush. There’s never enough time for a relaxed breakfast.
At exactly 6:00 AM, I get into my car and start the long drive.
I usually like driving on the highway more than in the city. During the morning rush hour,
though, it’s not very enjoyable. The heavy traffic is a little bit annoying. So I always listen
to my favorite classical music CD’s in the car – Chopin, Mozart, and Bach. That cheers me
up a lot.
The drive to work takes about one hour. Going back home in the evening after work takes
even longer, maybe around 70 minutes. Lately I’ve been thinking about trying to take the
train to work instead of driving. That way, I could still listen to my music with headphones,
and even read a novel at the same time.
