拉斯维加斯 Las Vegas

1/1/11

拉斯维加斯堪称人间奇迹。在那荒无人烟的美国西部沙漠地带,建造了一座灯火通明,光怪陆离,欲望横流而又治安良好的人人都想见一见,试一试的城市,不是奇迹,是什么?表面上看,建造和支撑拉斯维加斯的是金钱,其实美国人的创造性的新思维和美国西部的奋斗精神才是拉斯维加斯的精髓。

1. 拉斯维加斯原来是如此的荒芜



2. 拉斯维加斯的夜景是如此多彩:金碧辉煌的旅馆,精彩生动的仿真show:音乐喷泉,火山爆发,海盗大战,等等,加上世界一流的精彩演出和五花八门的赌博机器。







3.我们最喜欢的威尼斯酒店内仿真威尼斯水城







5.拉斯维加斯的清晨,空气如此清新





6. M&M巧克力工厂旁的仙人掌公园



7. 在火车车厢麦当劳用餐

Hi, Jimmy! Long time no contact! Wish you remeber Ellen. Is this beautiful lady your wife who look younger. From these photos, I guess that you live a happy life. It is a pity for me losing a chance to meet you during you were in China. Wish to see you next year! Best Regards!

旧金山——世界上最美丽的城市之一

旧金山——世界上最美丽的城市之一

我们利用今年圣诞节假期,访问了美国西部的几个著名的旅游点:洛杉矶,拉斯维加斯,科罗拉多大峡谷,硅谷,旧金山等地,虽然美国近年来经济不景气,但旅游业仍然十分火爆,而且亚洲面孔的游客(尤其是中国人)明显增多。希望朋友们随我们一起,旅游欣赏美丽独特的美国西部风光。(点击图片可以看大照片)。
首先让我们来看看旧金山,1992年我访问过这里,旧金山的美丽给我留下了深刻的印象。这次与我夫人一起来到这里,发现旧金山比原来更加漂亮,更有魅力。

The Fall Color of Canada 加拿大秋天的颜色

10/3/10


The Fall Color of Canada 加拿大秋天的颜色

             Every year this time at the end of September to the beginning of October is the best time to go north from Toronto to enjoy the fall color of Canada. Yesterday we went to Huntsville and Dorset which are about 250km north of Toronto. Huntsville is the place where the Canada G8 Summit was held this summer. We have visited the Canada G8 Summit Center and the famous Lions Lookout in Huntsville. From the following factures you will understand why they choose Huntsville as the G8 Summit place. After that we drove about 40km southeast from Huntsville to Dorset. Dorset is famous about the Observation Tower on the hill. The fantastic views from the top of the tower are so lovely that we wanted to linger on and on. From Dorset we drove through Highway 35 southbound towards Toronto. Watching the scenery along Highway 35 is exactly like enjoying a beautiful, colourful, ornate, innerving documentary movie. Anyway please check the following pictures we have taken yesterday and enjoy the Canadian fall colors( click on the picture, you can see a bigger image). Thanks.

             每年的这个时候,9月底到10月初,是多伦多人北上看枫叶的最佳时机。多伦多附近的枫叶要晚一些才变色,加上城市空气质量差,透明度差的原因,北上欣赏加拿大秋天的颜色总是人们的向往。昨天我们访问了Huntsville 和 Dorset 这两个小城市。他们在离白求恩家乡 (Gravenhurst 市)不远的东北方向。Huntsville 今年夏天刚刚承办了G8 首脑会议,从照片上你们可以看出为什么要在这里开世界首脑会议。Dorset 是因为有一个很高的观景塔而著名。从塔上远望,连绵起伏的森林,晶莹剔透湖水,在蓝天白云的衬托下,迷倒了千千万万的游客,每年有超过百万的游客登塔游览。从Dorset沿着35号公路向南回多伦多的路上,沿途的风景也是使人过目难忘,流连忘返,在车上,就像观赏一部多彩刺激的彩色纪录片。

            希望大家喜欢加拿大秋天的颜色( 点击照片,可看更大的图像)。
