Fish Friday
By: Harno Leornodes, SX
(Indonesia)

Do you know what a Fish Fry is? If you are Catholic, certainly you will know. During the Lenten Season, especially on Friday, many Catholics do not eat meat. That is why many restaurants on Fridays try to offer a fish menu . On Friday, March 4, our ESL classes finally had a field trip to enjoy a Fish Fry. It was a cold day when we had our field trip. At first, we went to visit an old building named Turner Hall. This building, constructed in 1882 by Henry H. Koch, is one of the oldest buildings in Milwaukee. There we enjoyed rock climbing, and we really had a lot of fun.

After that we went to the Turner Hall Restaurant that is located on the first floor of the Turner building. We had lunch there. It was a tremendous day because we all went together, and we shared our experiences at that one table. Everyone had the occasion to taste the special menu offered by the Restaurant, so we tried the fish fry with salads and some drinks. The restaurant offered a wide variety of appetizers, sandwiches, and salads as well as an evening dinner menu. While we were waiting for lunch, we shared many things with each other; and we took many pictures.

The time went by very fast. After lunch, we went to visit the second story of the Turner building where there was an old dance hall and theater which is currently being re-decorated. There was a lady there who explained to us about the history of the Hall. It was a showplace in the past where Milwaukee residents would visit for weekly concerts, dances, gymnastic competitions, and theatrical presentations. This hall was decorated by panoramic painters and other German immigrant artists who dominated the Milwaukee art scene throughout the early 1900s until the 1920s. Everything about Turner Hall was interesting for us, and it was a lot of fun. It was a tremendous day, wasn’t it?
