风景这边独好!

去ANGEL ISLAND有俩个目的, 1. 据说那的风景很优美, 是HIKING的好去处, 同事周末约好要去; 2. 那有历史上第一个华人移民拘留所, 参观看看先辈们的艰辛足迹.

早上8点多出发, 去SF的TIBURON赶轮渡, 9点到达, 买票上船, 10分钟就摆渡到了ANGEL ISLAND, 选了NORTH RIDGE路线, 走走停停, 看风景, 估计用了俩个多小时,到达顶峰MT CAROLINE LIVERMORE, 午饭, 喝酒赏风景, 美! 回途参观了IMMIGRATION STATION, 赶最后一班轮渡回到大陆, 到家7点多了, 暴走了一天, 累的腰酸腿痛, 老咯, 不过, 很舒服. 天气真好, 忘了, 带SUN SCREEN, 结果半边脸红了, 脖子, 胳膊红了..很青春的样子吗..嘿嘿..

下山去移民拘留所参观一下历史:

"From 1910 to 1940, the Angel Island Immigration Station processed approximately 1 million Asian immigrants entering into the US, leading to it sometimes being referred to as "The Ellis Island of the West". Due to the restrictions of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, many immigrants spent years on the island, waiting for entry. A fire destroyed the administration building in 1940, and subsequent immigration processing took place in San Francisco.

In 1962, the Chinese American community successfully lobbied the State of California to designate the immigration station as a State Landmark. Today, the Angel Island Immigration Station is a federally designated National Historic Landmark. It was renovated by the California State Parks,with a re-opening February 16, 2009."


简单的行囊, 只为心中的梦想


简陋的床, 艰辛的岁月


思乡的梦尤在
