Huntington Library 一日遊

最近去了一趟Huntington Library. 十六年前剛來美國的時候來過一次, 最近因為一個朋友搬來這附近, 大家有討輪要去搶免費票.就這樣, 上個月二月一號上網搶了三月一號的票(美各越第一個禮拜四有免費票,但是要前一個月的第一天早上九點上Huntington Library的網站去搶票)

正值茶花季節, 院內還有工作人員介紹各式各樣的茶花,而且介紹的阿姨會講中文,可以直接用中文問她問題。

另外還可以參觀這裡珍藏的首批活體字印刷的聖經,美國只有十一本。其中一本就在這裡














很不錯,值得來看看.


其實洛杉磯還有很多博物館都有提供這樣的免費日. 以下是我在about.com找到的資料.

墨西哥郵輪之旅 - 第七天, 海上

郵輪上面從第五天就在促銷船上的DVD。基本上,只要有大型的活動,船上的攝影工作人員就會來拍攝,所以你如果有參與到船上的一些活動,應該很值得買一份做紀念



但是我們生性害羞,而且那些比胸毛多的比賽或是比啤酒肚大的比賽,我們華人不但不會去比,就算去也是被秒殺的,而且還會被錄下來三不五時被嘲笑一下,所以我們都沒參加,所以也沒必要買。


今天想說船上很多地方都還沒去看看,所以就早起去照照相也好,順便去吃一下正式早餐。








早餐




今天晚上要收行李,而且因為托兒服務只到十點,在加上大家還想把帶上船的酒喝掉,所以大家決定拼輸贏。 比21點,輸的要在晚上十點鐘到十二點鐘照顧我們這一團全部十個小孩!
這個賭的可大了! 






還好阿忠沒小孩,所以很輕鬆的觀戰就行了。最後的輸家結果是小劉.......

廝殺之後去吃午餐。

前菜
 這個冷湯很有趣。來的時候就是這樣一小撮芹菜和番茄,然後服務生會來加湯進去,變成下面這樣。

甜點


才吃完午餐,下午還有個巧克力buffet.  因為要趕在他開放之前,大家還沒開動前照好,所以很多都照得很倉促。






















吃完覺得昏沉沉的,要散步一下。泳池邊的人已經明顯減少了,可能因為越往北開越冷的原因。





下午我去看老劉他兒子報名的Talent Show.老劉很謙虛的說這是通通有獎,有報名就有獎,但是我就跟他說我昨天沒拿到乒乓球獎,一口怨氣哽到現在,任何獎都比沒有獎好啊。。。。





老劉的兒子使出看家本領,隨便拉一手就把大家鎮住了



今天的晚餐會很"多樣性",很多前幾天出現過的東西又出現了,我想可能是因為最後一天晚上了,要把庫存清一下


前菜


 這是酥炸田雞, 是他們的"好膽來試試"menu上的其中一項。我強烈懷疑船上有台籍師傅。這道菜真是很台啊。





主菜






甜點





今天晚上的毛巾。。。。。很清楚的在打混啊。。。。


晚上大家就約在老O的房間喝酒。 可憐的小劉就在隔壁房哀怨的看顧十個小孩
