    Peace Arch Park

    在White Rock的旁边,就是著名的Peace Arch Park, 美加边境的一个由BC和Washington两个地区共同管理的海边公园。如果没有人说,还以为就是个普通的公园,一点都不像边境--没有军人,没有边防,没有栅栏。有一片大草地,和一个象征性的自由门,门上写着“May These Gates Never Be Closed”.

    有两个界碑,划定的是界限,不过obviosly我已经走过去了,呵呵。草地上遍地的Daisy,而且这里的所有草地从来不会有不准踩踏的标志,我其实不明白为什么加拿大的草地都可以随便踩,为什么草还都是长得这么好捏?

    有意思的是,有一个大大的牌子,上面告诉开车过边境的人,30km的车速等于20mile的车速。原来美国用的都是mile,而不像我们通用的码km。说到衡量单位,美国反而喜欢特立独行,他们用mile (英里),温度要用华氏度,而加拿大和中国一样,都是用km和摄氏度的。

    不过说真的,对于这片没有过战争的土地来说,一切都如此的和平和静谧。这里不追求华丽,却是一种无限的peace在心中。DSC_0222

    公园里的树木的名字都写在树下的一个石头上面,我找到了好几种不同的树。那个Chestnut我一查是栗子,想必可以到时候炒栗子吃吧~~(果不其然,旁边写着不可以食用。。。)

    另外见到了华盛顿的车牌~~Washington, Evergreen State, 也是雪山的水印。
