     I write about my homestay in MN.
We had no lecture this day, so I was very happy. We went to canoeing at St. Choix river. I wore a life jacket and we made some groups. I rode a canoe with Megumi, Haruna, and Joel. I almost talked with Joel, he sometimes said American jokes to laugh me. But I didn't understand his jokes, I was really sorry. He explained his joke for me. I thought I should learn some American jokes. After canoeing, we went to a zoo. I walked around the zoo with Ayano and Kaori, and I took a lot of pictures. I bought ice cream and some souvenir for me there. When we arrived at Roseville Central Park for picnic, we still had many times to practice the skit. Everyone practiced the skit and talked with each other. This picnic was very fun, because many host family came there. My host mother praised my skit, so I was very happy.
