生个儿子和生个女儿的区别

从那里过关去美国？

从多伦多去五指湖或纽约州西部的其他地方，Streets and Maps 的缺省选择是通过Queenston-Lewiston Bridge 过海关，距离大约时 355公里。从Rainbow Bridge 过关的话是337公里，而从Peace Bridge 过关的话则是345公里。今天早上美国一侧的等候时间分别是 60分钟/20分钟/0分钟。哈哈，因此不能一条路走死。

多伦多的樱花

总是听说High Park的樱花很漂亮，前几年去了几次都没有找到。今年终于去对了时间而一睹芳容。但是跟华盛顿的是没法相比的了。顺见我的照相Blog。

五指湖 之吃

查看了美国农业部网站，加拿大产的食物基本上都可以带往美国。部分蔬菜和水果可能无法证明是加拿大产的，所以不适合带往美国，但是洋人超市买的肉类食品应该是没有问题的。

3. Watkins Glen
   
   Watkins Glen State Park, off Route 14 at the south end of the village, is one of the certain highlights of the Finger Lakes. Opened in 1863, the 776-acre park contains a spectacular gorge sculpted in slate, formed more than 12,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age and carved by the flow of Glen Creek ever since, and 19 separate waterfalls. The walking trails in and around the gorge are splendid and accessible to almost all walkers; you can walk right in behind the 60-foot drop of Central Cascade. It takes about an hour to walk the gorge trail, with a steep climb at the end. Shuttle buses ($3) return walkers to the entrance, or you can walk back along the Indian trail, which is parallel to the gorge but flatter. Park entrance is $6 per vehicle.

4. Taughannock Falls / Seneca harbor
   
   Lovely Seneca Harbor is a perfect picture composed of a marina full of bobbing sail- and fishing boats, a New England-style red schoolhouse at the end of the public fishing pier, and vineyard-laced hillsides rising from the lake. The boardwalk provides some of the most beautiful views of any vantage point in the Finger Lakes. This part of Seneca Lake is the perfect place to get out on the water on a yacht or sailboat.

五指湖 之住

因朋友的邀请，几年前有机会在HP的私人营地经历了一次camping。虽然是一次非常有意思的经历，但显然不是我的风格，所以想来那将是此生最后一次camping了。随后的几次短途旅行都是和朋友们一起合租一个cottage，美食，聊天，打牌，其乐融融。何况每次虽然没有依山却是傍水而住，自以为是“智者爱水”了。

经过一番搜寻，我们租下了Keuka湖东侧的Geranium Abode Cottage。Keuka湖是Frommer认为五指湖中最为漂亮的一个；我们的住所又在湖的中下侧，去周围的景点应该是较为方便的；西面而向的Cottage使得我们还有机会一睹绚丽的夕阳。

五月的长周末

一个漫长的冬天终于过去了。当看到满树的嫩绿和和迎风飘扬的迎春花，外出旅游的骚动是再也抑制不住的了。考虑到三个星期以后的长周末将是加拿大的节日，南下美国避开人流应该是自然的选择了。而就近的湖光山色应该非五指湖莫属了。
