It was 17th of November evening. For some special reason there wasn’t our regular E.S.O.L. class at the ‘Bartlett School.’ So, we decided to make different project for that evening. We have to choose the place, where we would have the class. After we heard everybody’s opinion, we decided to go to Colonial Restaurant. Everybody had to order their own food by themselves. And we discussed Food Pyramid. How much vitamins those were in the food.

We were very excited for that evening. Finally that evening came. Everybody went by themselves to the Colonial Restaurant. We were six people over there. Our teacher Mr. Mitch Krouner, Mr. Raul, Ana, Ethel, my husband and I. we said ‘Hi-Hello’ to everybody. Then, everybody ordered appetizers and drinks. For appetizers we had nachos soft bread and butter. Some ordered hard drink and others soft drinks. After appetizers; everybody ordered food and whatever they liked. My husband and I ordered pasta. I did not remember what the other people ordered. While eating the food, we were talking about nutrition in our food. We also talked about different foods of different countries and about different countries’ traditions.

Now I tell you about the Colonial Restaurant’s decoration. It was simple but nice decoration. In three corners there was fall decoration. They put in each of the three corners a pumpkin and fall color leaves, also were there some candles, too. It looked simple and nice. We had excellent service for everything. The girl who was serving us was talkative, smiling and very nice. After the dinner, the Colonial Restaurant’s owner told us about history of Webster and the Colonial Restaurant. It was a very terrible flood that came in the year 1958 from the river. The town was filled with the French river’s flood water. Because of the floor, the original Colonial Restaurant collapsed. After that they fixed the restaurant. It was very interesting story of the Webster town.

After we were done with everything, we said thanks to our waitress and the owner of the Colonial Restaurant. We really enjoyed that evening. We had a nice time and talking to each other and getting closer with everyone. Actually, it was a great project for our ESOL program. It even happened outside the class room
