Mrs Quyen 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 Atcatraz in the middle of San Francisco Bay. Chicago is often called “The Windy City”. It’s situated right on the shore of Lake Michigan, one of the Great Lakes.
