美國50州大滿貫,達成!!

最近在忙甚麼呢?竟然會在六月中後,此網誌就再也沒有更新過了。

原來‧‧‧又是去旅行了

這趟六月底開始的旅途,接下來有機會再稍稍詳細介紹。現在先向大家報告一下此行到目前為止最大的『突破』‧‧‧

── 前幾天由芝加哥搭美國國鐵的『Southwest Chief』班車到洛杉磯,搭了40幾個小時,坐得都快瘋掉了。不過最大的成就是,經過肯薩斯州 (Kansas)的 Lawrence鎮,還特別下來繞了 20分鐘。

咦,搭火車經過美國中西部鳥不生蛋的小鎮,下車看一看,有甚麼好寫的?




原來,因為,如今肯薩斯州 也算“拜訪”過了,我終於達到全美50 州都踏上過的『美國50州大滿貫』

以上 50隻歡呼的猴子,每隻象徵美國的一州。

喔,忘了,五十州外
忘掉了還有另外一隻,嗯,一個不算州的『州』
-- 華盛頓哥倫比亞特區 (Washington, DC)

50州大滿貫達成!!

其實,在『百國達成』後,把美國的 50州都走透透,感覺並不是很刺激的成就。


嗯,接下來要挑戰什麼呢?

要不要挑戰『中國X省及 X大自治區大滿貫』?

(嗯, 老實說,我到現在還是搞不清他們現在到底有幾省啦!)

接下來,會新闢『美國旅遊綜合』分類,綜納我過去 25年來每一州的旅遊紀事。當然,一直沒寫完的『2008年美國鐵道之旅』也會趕快回去寫啦!


嗯‧‧‧我的『第三次巴爾幹半島之旅』不適還沒寫完嗎?
『衣索匹亞遊記』呢?
==================================
* 2002 搭火車去亞特蘭大實有經過,但沒下車“踩到他的土地”。不過 2003 在 Charlotte 機場轉地,算是真正採到它的土地了!

** 也是一樣,2002 搭火車去亞特蘭大實有經過,但沒下車“踩到他的土地”。不過 2009 再度搭火車經過,這回有下車在 Greenville 走一走了!
