30-6-2006:享受陽光half moon bay.書卷氣@stanford

DAY 11 @ USA

I’m SUPER STUPID!!! I got a sunburn! I feel very hot on the skin of my arms now!!!

We got up very late this morning (we chatted until very late last night). I missed the chance to talk to Day in MSN.

And I will not be able to talk to him tomorrow morning as well. We are going to San Francisco tomorrow!!!

We went to the Half Moon Bay today. We expected to come across farms that we could pick cherries there. However, only fresh fruits were sold. We then went to the beach directly. It was sunny but also windy and it was a bit cold.

The beach was very long and beautiful. The weather was so good. There were not so many people on the beach. Only a few families went camping there. We then walked onto the beach. The sand was warm and comfortable to touch. The sea water was freezing!!!

We lied on the sand. It was so comfortable that we didn’t want to leave.

The beach was so big and not crowded (it is so difficult to find a space in the beahces in Hong Kong during summertime~).

When we left the beach, we stopped at a fruit shop in front of a farm. We bought some strawberries, cherries (there are yellow and red cherries) and mo-fa-guo. It was the first time I eat mo-fa-guo. Its outlook is like an eggplant. But the texture is like a “lum-chi”. Hong said that it contains a lot of fibre!!! Very healthy.

Hong has prepared a box and water for washing the fruits so that we could eat them as soon as we bought them. The fruits were so sweet and fresh!!! This is California!!!

We then went to Stanford. Hong’s sister is now studying there for her master. She took me to look around. Hong and I went to the Stanford Mall first. We had our lunch there (but the time was already tea time), in MacDonald’s (I ate the chicken sticks, which is not sold in Hong Kong).

The letter “S” (stanford) at the main entrance. A must-take-photo spot.

The chapel was very beautiful. Hong’s sister said that alumni of the university can get married in it but she will not because she doesn’t want to see that the seats are not completely filled up. Haha~

Medical school of the Stanford University. Taking a picture with Benson (Hong’s boyfriend, his name appeared yesterday).

We then had our dinner in a Japanese restaurant in a town nearby.

Hong’s sister was the boss tonight. She has just received her salary. A very nice meal!!!
