We’re very busy each week. Our internship hours are pretty much full time, except for a half day on Fridays, and we have classes and other local government meetings in the evenings. However, there is still time for enjoying some of the cultural and recreational activities that Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire have to offer. Four of us have discovered a couple of golf courses in the area. Lake Hallie golf course (in the picture) is in the village of Lake Hallie located between Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire. It’s a tight, tree-lined course right on the small lake where we encountered several people fishing during our round.
We also attended the “Taste of Eau Claire” celebration last Sunday afternoon at one of the local parks. Many local restaurants opened booths at the event, and tickets (purchased for $1 each) could be exchanged for generous samples of various cuisine. Afterwards, we attended the home opener of the local minor league baseball team, the Eau Claire Express. We have additional weekend trips planned that we’ll post info about later.
