网际旅游

哈，刚刚写完今夏不出游的blog, 就看到了纽约时报的这篇文章：31 Places to Go This Summer，文中开篇明义， 这么说的：

But the summer of 2008 is starting out like a cruel joke, with air travel increasingly a nightmare and with wildly escalating gas prices threatening to make the road trip all but obsolete. It’s almost enough to make you sit at home and catch up on episodes of “Gossip Girl.”

心想着不错，这不就是我想说的意思嘛，不过，文章中下一段来了个“However”，看来还要硬凑凑数，作家才好把稿费拿到手，于是往下读，结果。。。

我乐了。

你知道今年夏天如果你不得不出游的话，纽约时报的第一个推荐是什么吗？

1. TEXAS HILL COUNTRY

Who needs Europe? The Texas Hill Country, west of Austin and north of San Antonio, might be the next best thing to crossing the Atlantic. The region is lush, colorful and, unlike much of the pancake-flat state, dotted with beautiful green hills that are evocative of Tuscany or the south of France. Moreover, the region is speckled with 22 wineries (www.texaswinetrail.com) that buzz with food and music festivals year round. And towns like Fredericksburg offer a taste of the Old World, with German-style biergartens and schnitzelhäuser.

哈哈，看来坐在家里后院，看着我新种的枣树，应该是今夏的主要活动了。

开个玩笑。不过周末刚刚和朋友一起去Schlitterbahn水上公园，早上九点出发，晚上九点回家，很是尽心。小朋友开心，做父母的也开心，年青MM泳装穿的也开心，难得的Austin夏季好去处。

祝贺大家都有个快乐的暑假。
