MY school trip

Hi Laura, 
Thank you for your last e-mail, I am ok and you ? 

Two days ago I went to Caserta and we watched a musical about the Beatles. My English teacher,Esterina La Torre,organised it. All my class mets partecipated to it and other classes joined us. We went by bus. When we arrived to the theatre, we waited about 20 minutes, because we arrived in advance. When the other classes came out, our teacher paid the entrance so we went in. During the show, there were some pictures of the Beatles and the actors some of their most famous songs. When they finished, we asked them some questions like their age, name and where do they come from, their favourite songs ecc. Then we went out and we went to the bus shop and some of us wanted to buy something so we went to a bar bought something then we left. We wanted to go at MC donalds , but there were no time , so we returned home around 3pm. The show was very interesting and beautiful.I liked it a lot and the artist were very good and talented.
So this was my experience with the theatre in a forign language....
Write me soon 
cheers, 
Priscilla
