Moving on 1 A Lesson 10 - A weekend in the country Lyrics

A weekend in the country

Mr. and Mrs. Hill decide to go to the Pococo Mountains for the weekend. It's not far from New York City, but the countryside is very beautiful. They are going to stay in Bed -and- Breakfast in a small town. John rents a car for the weekend. Mary packs her clothes into a small suitcase. She waits for John at the door of their hotel with the luggage. She sees John's car at the traffic-light on the corner. The light turns green and the car arrives at the hotel entrance. Mary gets into the car and John takes her suitcase. He puts it in the back seat. Mary puts her coat into the back seat too. Now they are ready to go.

John: Where's the map,dear?
Mary: It's in the purse. Do you want to see it rigth now?
John: No, not yet. I know the way out of the city, but i'm not sure where to go from there.
Mary: I don't think we can get lost with so many road signs. How far is it, John?
John: I think it's about fifty miles.
Mary: I wonder when we'll arrive.
John: We should be there in a litle over an hour.

John was rigth. After driving for an hour and ten minutes, they arrived at "the Bed and Breakfast". It was "Happy Hour" and many of the guests were drinking c___tails in the dinning room. John parked his car in the parking lot.

Mary: Let's have a drink first. then we can take the luggage up to our room.
John: Good idea. There's nothing like a nice cold beer!

Mary: Why don't we have our drinks in the dinning room with the others guests?
They sat at a table and the waitress brought then two Budweisers. They drank a beers and then went to rest in their room.

The next morning they got up very early and went for a walk. They walked along the river bank. They were a little tired when they got back to the hotel, so they sat on the porch to watch the boats on the river.

Mary: It's so pleasant here. We'll have to come here again.
John: Yes, it's very nice. When we come next time, we should try to rent one of those boats.
