在麻州西北著名的觀賞秋葉 Mohawk Trail 上 (2號路西北段)有一個美麗的小山鎮叫 Shelburne Fall。之前並不了解,旅遊書上這樣說,小鎮值得一停,可作小歇,喝杯咖啡,隨意走走。最近新英格蘭地區陰雨連連,最佳觀葉季節就這樣被雨打風吹去了。不甘心,周末起個大早,趕往 Mohawk Trail。從Boston 開兩個多小時後,第一站便在 Shelburne Fall 落腳,本來如書上所說,隻想停一停,伸伸胳膊腿,再弄杯咖啡上路。不想眼前一亮,心裏打了好幾個驚歎號。清晨雲霧繚繞, 正是日出時間,可惜少有陽光,聞著濕濕的山野空氣,清爽舒服,四處走走拍拍,不覺呆了幾個小時。鎮子不大,兩大特色,慢慢道來。
(一)花橋 The Bridge of Flowers
多孔橋,一座窄窄的歩行橋,不走車輛,其上種滿了各種鮮花,春夏天來走走這橋會更美,山城的第一特色。眼前的畫麵讓我有回到中國的感覺。The World Famous Bridge of Flowers. In 2009, 34,346 visitors from around the globe walked over the Bridge of Flowers and signed the guestbooks - a 62.8% increase over the previous year! All 50 states were represented in the 2009 season while the number of foreign countries/islands was 91. The three busiest months of the year were July, August and October. http://www.shelburnefalls.com/
