    假期游记4 (12/31/2007- 01/03/2007) 完.

    2007.12.31

    三藩市

     

    年末,我们将在三藩市度过。

    终于来到向往已久的渔人码头,其中39号码头尤为出名,估计是因为可以观赏到成群的海狮在岸边浮板上日光浴的景况!

    这些海狮真是可爱,怪不得岸边挤满了游客。

     

    随后,我们坐游船近距离观赏金门大桥和“监狱岛”。

    “监狱岛”(ALCATRAZ)1934年,原作为军事监狱的阿尔卡却兹岛被美国司法部从美国作战部手中接管,成为了美国关押高危重刑犯的联邦监狱,其保安设施是美国各大监狱中最严密的。在1962年爆发了震惊全美的三人越狱事件,更证明了该设施已经不能胜任囚禁这些凶残罪犯的需要了,而整修加固需要500万美金,政府无力负担,于是最终决定放弃这座维护费用高昂的岛上监狱。从此,阿尔卡却兹就成为了旧金山著名的以监狱探奇为主题的游览景区。

    上岸后,我们在39号码头游览了许久,有幸看到一个美丽的黄昏。

    夕阳无限好

     

    除夕夜,我们来到三藩市的Grace Cathedral大教堂,观看1929年原创的那部“歌剧魅影” Phantom of the Opera)。

    市区,街道上挤满狂欢的人们

    看完电影后观众兴奋地合唱起“友谊天长地久”(Auld Lang Syne

     

    随后,我们打算到海边看零点的烟花,可是来不及了,在路上就已经踏入新年了。大街上的人群高声呼喊,汽车喇叭四处轰鸣。我们来了新年的第一照,嘻嘻,还是自拍的!

    充满挑战的08年终于到了,在这里祝愿各位亲朋好友新年事事顺景,平安快乐!

    三藩市

     

    今天我们到downtownmall逛了一下,算是脱离了汽车,行走市区吧。

    在市区大马路上出现一支Q版车队

     

    下午送走了RainGary,晚上三人在“月星宫”大吃海鲜自助,庆祝新年!

    看他们吃得多开心

    晚上送走了Xiaoqing,我和Tengxi俩奔赴圣荷赛(San Jose)。

     

    2008.01.02

    Stanford & Silicon Valley

     

    Stanford University坐落于小城Palo Alto,正好在三藩市与圣荷赛的中间。据说其校园是全美最漂亮的,耳闻不算,眼见方为实。

    远处高楼就是Hoover Tower

     

    离开Stanford,我们驱车前往硅谷的东南角,iDT公司所在地。Tengxi认识的一个叔叔在这里工作,这两晚我们都是寄宿在他家,十分温馨的一个家。

    这两天的游记以看图说话为主,小弟的文字功底实在有限。

     

    2008.01.03

    Davis & Old Sacramento

     

    今天是旅行的最后一天,来到了小城Davis拜访我的老朋友。话说林思同学刚在Davis落脚不久,估计城市的巨大差别会让她郁闷好一阵子。老朋友终于又相见了,我的内心还是相当激动的,天知道我是多么地想念这位漂亮聪颖的好朋友。冒着风雨,我们来到了Old Sacramento,这个让我意犹未尽的地方。

    先来合照一张,哈哈

    IMG_1300

     

    我们来到Union Pacific Railway已经弃用的车站,此时风力已经相当强劲,还夹杂着雨水,只好硬着头皮——自拍!

    可爱的小鼓手

    离别前的自拍

     

    短暂的相聚很快就过去了,相信她的美国新生活将会充满乐趣。

     

    离开Davis之后,路上开始狂风暴雨,车子经常被吹得飘忽不定,不过多日的锻炼已经让我的驾驶技术提升了大大的一个台阶,在此不得不感谢一下国内的驾校教练以及城市交通状况。在机场待了几个小时,因天气原因晚点的飞机终于把我们载回了温暖的德克萨斯,结束了这次圣诞之旅。

     

    一连四篇的记述型游记到此为止,感谢大家的耐心。祝愿大家新学期学习进步,工作顺利,生活愉快。

     

    The End.
