Day 3: Sioux Falls

The students spent the whole day in Sioux Falls today.  We started out at the Great Plains Zoo, where they fed goats, ducks, and fish, and saw lots of cool animals.  After that, we went to a VERY American restaurant, Famous Dave's, where the students practiced their English skills by conversing with the servers.  A trip to Falls Park and a trolley ride followed lunch, and finally, the students shopped 'til they dropped at the Empire Mall. 

The whole group with Lindy at the zoo:

Eisuke is a pretty great kid.  At the restaurant, he told me that meat in Japan tastes like a dirty dishtowel, but the meat here is awesome!  :)


Takashi is our resident photojournalist.  He takes beautiful pictures:


Fun at the Falls!

    We went to various places today. In Great Plains Zoo, I was glad that I cloud many animals. It's so cute. And we went to Falls Park. Fall was beautiful. But a happening was caused there. I was falled in the messy water. So I spent barefoot until I bought shoes in the shopping mall. That's good memory. It was fun today!
