喬治老爹的花園 PaPaJoe's Garden

第一次帶家人自助遊加州 22天，一個特別的經驗。(  This is the first time that I took my family to visit in California for a 22 days' trip. It's a special experience for me. ) 機票透過 可樂旅遊 網站購買， 租車選擇 Hertz ，直接上網訂車，Hertz不定期會有促銷活動。因為是第一次在美國自駕，所以保險有買齊，加上保險，選擇 Hertz 蠻划算的。 住房的部分我選擇 Hotels.com  ，加上稅金比 Booking.com 還便宜，累積10晚會贈送1晚，住房的品質OK，當然也可以選擇 Airbnb。 我有買舊金山的   City Pass   ， 如果會在舊金山停留好幾天，是一個不錯的選擇。 要參加 Yosemite 優勝美地的 Bus Tour，可以先上 網站 預訂，我們這一次有參加 Glacier Ponit Tour，很棒。 要參觀 Hearst Castle，可以先上 官網 預訂你想參加的 Tour。 在美國要叫車可以選擇 Uber 或 Lyft，可以安裝兩種 App，比較一下哪一個便宜，我這一次有坐了一趟 Lyft 蠻不錯的。 機場接送機可以選擇 SuperShuttle ，會比 Uber 和 Lyft 便宜。 底下是我這一次旅行的景點：      1.  舊金山地區： Fort Point、California Academy of Sciences、Blue & Gold Fleet Bay Cruise Adventure、 Exploratorium、Aquarium of the Bay、Grace Cathedral、Cable Car Museum、Lombard Street、Coit Tower、Tony's Pizza、Palace of Fine Arts、Golden Gate Bridge、Sausalito、Mount Tamalpais State Park。 2. 奧克蘭地區：Oakland Oracle Arena、Berkeley、Sather Gate、Sa...

今天先到Redwood City的 Pulgas Water Temple 走走，去看美麗的風景。（ We went to the Pulgas Water Temple to see beautiful scenery. ) 這一個供水系統提供整個灣區乾淨的自來水。（ This water supply system provides clean water to the Bay area. ) 昨天沒逛夠，所以今天繼續來史丹佛。( We didn't see them all, so we came back again to Stanford today. ) 史丹佛的書店好大，裡面應有盡有，想買紀念品來這裡就對了。( The bookstore is so big, you could buy all kinds of souvenirs here. ) 中午在 The Axe & Palm 用餐，口味還不錯。可以在 KIOSK自助點餐，或是跟店員點餐。( We ate lunch at the Axe & Palm , it was good. You could use the KIOSK to order or just made your choices from the clerk. ) 紀念教堂裡面很漂亮，校友們很喜歡在這辦婚禮。( It's beautiful here at the Memorial Church , and the alumnuses like to have their weddings here. ) 康托藝術中心，典藏了一些羅丹的作品。（ There are some artworks of Rodin here at the Cantor Art Center. ) 羅丹著名的巨型雕塑（地獄之門) ( The famous artwork of Rodin , the gate of hell. ) 史丹佛的校園很大，有很特別的氛圍，可以花好幾天的時間慢慢逛。離開史丹佛後，就去 Google 總部走走。（ The campus of Stanford is huge, you could spend a few days to go around. After leaving Stan...

今天來一趟校園巡禮，先去奧克蘭的加州大學柏克萊分校，路上經過Amazon。（ Today we went to visit campuses around Bay area. The first one was Berkeley, and on the way we also met Amazon. ) 塞德門（ Sather Gate ） 塞德塔（ Sather Tower ） Sproul Hall 離開柏克萊到附近的諾曼地村走走（ We left Berkeley and went to the Normandy Village at Spruce Street. ） 從奧克蘭去史丹佛的路上，車子開在橋面，海就在旁邊，感覺海水好像隨時要淹上來，有點可怕。( On the way to Sanford, we drove on the bridge which pretty close to the sea level. It's a little bit scary, because it seemed that the sea would overflow the bridge anytime. ) 史丹佛有名的胡佛塔 ( Hoover Tower ) 在 The Cheese Board Collective 買的麵包，好吃。( We bought the breads at the Cheese Board Collective, they tasted good. ) 時間不早了，逛完史丹佛就回二姊家。( It's late after visiting Sanford, we went back to my sister's house. )
