Today I got up early at 7 o’clock, I took a shower and ate breakfast. After that we got ready for school and we went to the bus station. When we arrived at school, we checked our class timetable, because some students had to change classes. My morning class was about a man, who builds huge works of art. It was really impressive.
As soon as the morning classes were finished, we went for lunch at our favorite burger's lounge. It was delicious as usual. After lunch, we had to go to our afternoon classes. Because the baby of one of the teachers was sick, there were a lot of changes between the other teachers, and that's why we had another teacher than usually.
After school, Mr. Hediger drove us with his car to Coronado island. There we visited the world famous five star Hotel del Coronado with its superb beaches. Despite the fact that this is a five star hotel, it’s free to visit and the beaches are public spots. We went to one of the restaurants and had a drink – with free refill. That's something (amongst a lot of other things) that I love about the US.
With its iconic red turrets piercing the taut horizontal lines of an azure California skyline, the Hotel del Coronado radiates with a confidence of gracious Victorian splendor that is without equal.
Built in 1888, this classic beachfront respite has long been heralded as one of America’s most beautiful beach resorts. A pronouncement underscored by its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1977.
Today, The Del offers guests a unique combination of modern luxury touched with the charm and grace of this fairytale castle. Include its stunning beachfront locale and it’s easy to see why The Del has been called 'one of the top ten resorts in the world' by USA Today.
After Coronado island, we crossed the Coronado Bay Bridge to see the aircraft-carriers. They are huge, you couldn’t imagine it without a picture. One of them, the USS Midway, is a museum, but we didn’t have enough time to do this.
When we finished taking photos it was already time to go home. Our hostmother took us to a special restaurant called 'The Corvette Diner', a neon-lighted and vinyl-boothed retro 1950s diner complete with tart-tongued waitresses with beehive hairdos and poodle skirts. It has continuous oldies music playing, and you can request songs. The waitresses and waiters are all ridiculously nice and dressed up in fun costumes. They also go dancing at random times. Anyway, this is a high energy and very fun place to eat.
Now the food. Since it has a 50s era theme, the food it is best known for are the burgers and shakes. They have some cool sounding burgers, but their well-known one is called the Rory burger, which has bacon and peanut butter on a patty; it’s unique and delicious. I had a hamburger with French fries. I drank a cherry-coke, with free refill of course, that was really sweet and delicious. And of course the waitress didn’t know Switzerland, and she thought we were from Sweden. After eating and having a lot of fun there, we went home again for doing our homework.
