最貴的玩具


親愛なる君へ :

上禮拜俊元畢業了!我在美國的酒伴又即將少掉一個!
這個陳先生是一個傳奇,他可以一個人開車一路玩到San Antonio (全程超過三千英里)!咱們給他拍拍手!而且,我還得謝謝他,因為他把車賣給我!我少了一個酒伴,卻也多了一個旅行的好幫手!

豐田車系Toyota Camry 200 XLE
搭載 V6 引擎,有著六汽缸的實力!前後防撞鋼樑換新,車體除了一兩處小擦傷,其他無大礙!八年的車,已行近十萬英里!大體來說,是一部保養得當、狀況極佳的好車!

昨天我和由樹一起把她洗了一遍!添一添雨刷精及引擎冷卻劑!(不知道吧,在美國冷卻引擎的不是水!在台灣,水箱裡可以只加水!在美國,要加特定的冷卻劑,否則冬天一結冰,就等著拖去大修吧!)

夕陽下,我的車顯的很有精神!我佇足在旁良久,心想:這是我第一次買這麼貴的「玩具」給自己!從今天起,她叫做 Connie! 她將陪伴我到美國大城小鎮去玩!我在這片遼闊的夢想之地,會有她親切的保護及友情!

命名の確認:Connie

Turkey-Run State Park

I got my car on Friday (May 2, 2008).

Before I give a detailed information about the first car in my life, I want to share with you all about the marvelous day in Turkey-Run State Park.
It was such a sunny day with cool air and a little breeze. I did not feel hot and sweaty at all. Well, as a matter of fact, I am not really a nature-goer. Walking on the grass and leaves makes me feel nervous cause I am always worried about snakes. However, the scenery in the park helped relieve my tension and worry. In my eyes, there were green trees, shiny river, rocky valley, and little waterfall.
Nathan and I spent about thirty walking on Trail #6 and about an hour on Trail #3. …Exhausted, but feeling so relaxed and fascinated by the natural scenes. We hopped on little rocks while crossing various little rivers. We stopped by some rocky caves and valleys, pretending we are ancient monks or "supermen." When we saw the clean cool water in the river, we "almost" took off our shoes and jumped into it.

Summer is coming. I can feel that.
I am gonna spend more time exploring the beauty of Indiana, and other gorgeous places in the US. Life…shall be wasted in beautiful things!!!
Just take a break! Not tired yet, but need a deep breath to say "Thank you" to God: You have done a good job creating the earth.
I guess there is too much iron in the rock or the water, making the color red.
Don't worry about Nathan. He was just too stressed out because he is about to leave Indiana and go back Taiwan. Hahahahaha…!!!
I was a little tired actually. Jumping up and down really makes my legs tired.
What about taking a shower under that waterfall, pal??? It must be "cool."
I hope you become a monk here and I may come every once in a while to worship you. Hahahahaha...
Yeah, right! So now you decide to become a superman…what's next, pal!???
Isn't this gorgeous? I wanna go canoeing here next time.
Well, actually, it's forbidden to swim here! Are there any crocodiles there in the river?
Wow…I need to drink a second cup of coffee! What a day!!!!!!!! (Don't you have a fat-belly problem, buddy?)
