外滩8号

October 25th, 2009 No comments

Weekend。

今天跑去Gilroy的Outlets,买了两件衬衫一双鞋,加上带过来的衣服,至少够穿一个月了。

晚间时候在Mountain View的Villa 08吃海鲜自助,觉得和Crazy Buffet并没有什么差别。“外滩8号”则似乎是一部电影的名字。

雨季的大部分时间,这里的天气依然明艳。早晨洗澡时明晃晃的太阳光刺进来,想戴上墨镜。路边通常都有各种不同的树混杂种在一起,从热带的棕榈到寒带的松柏。它们中的一些在这个时候变成红、橙或者黄色,深深浅浅的很好看。“Palo Alto”据说是西班牙语,来自于一棵树的名字。这棵树也许不晓得它的名字对世界有怎样的意义。如果它还健在的话,我很想知道它在秋天里是哪一种颜色。

引用Wikipedia上Palo Alto词条的一段:

Palo Alto (pronounced /ˌpæloʊˈæltoʊ/, from Spanish: palo: “stick” (or “pole” or “tree”) and alto: “tall”) is a California charter city located in the northwest corner of Santa Clara County, in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, USA. It is named after a tree called El Palo Alto. The city includes portions of Stanford University and is headquarters to a number of Silicon Valley high-technology companies, including Hewlett-Packard, VMware and Facebook. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 58,598 residents.

希望明天可以去个地方闲逛。

对DC的痛恨与日俱增,年末如有盈余定置单反。
