July 30

     I write about my homestay in MN.
The day was a first holiday in my homestay. My host mother, Kristy, planed to take me to Red Wing. First, we went to the car shop to change a car tire. After that, she took me to St. Paul to see her friend, Tim. He was a nice man. Then, we ate ice cream in the city of St. Paul. I ate chocolate banana ice cream. It was very big and I took photo after I ate half of it. I had enough ice cream, and I didn't have lunch this day. After we left St. Paul, we went to the pottery shop in Red Wing. I bought some souvenirs for my father and mother. When we went back home, we visited the restaurant which stands near seaside. I took some photos there. I was happy to get some souvenirs.
