It was an unforgettable 3-day trip to the countryside to visit my grandparents last summer holiday. My family decided to go by bike on this trip because we all wanted to enjoy the atmosphere there. As expected, the air was so great and clear. We felt very excited about this place. After having lunch at my grandparents' house, we took a short nap and made all preparation to go fishing with grandparents in the afternoon. The lake beside the house has many fishes and we had a joyful fishing and a lot of dishes cooked in the evening. It was our first day.
On the second day, we got up early and drove bicycle around the village. The traffic was not heavy of course. We went along the small roads, had lunch under the shade of an old tree and saw the children play with kites in the afternoon. The wind made us feel relaxed and peaceful.
On the third day, dad and mom allowed my sister and me to help my grandparents with the work on the fields. The summer comes, either the harvest does. People are busier to collect all corns and rice. We had a hard- working day. We went to sleep early and the village at night was so silent.
It was such a memorable travel of mine, we felt very happy during the after time of that summer, and all sorrow was disappeared!
