波士頓(Boston)是新英格蘭地區的最大城市,位於美國東北部大西洋沿岸,創建於1630年, 曾經是美國革命期間一些重要事件的發生地點。波士頓公園(Boston Common)是美國最古老的城市公園之一, 在革命以前,這公園曾用做英軍軍營。1817年以前,這裡的一棵大橡樹曾用來執行絞刑。下面中間照片是華盛頓雕像。
科普利廣場(Copley Square), 是波士頓後灣地區的一個廣場, 聚集了許多的地標建築,包括(clockwise):Trinity Church, John Hancock Tower, Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel, Boston Public Library's McKim Building, Old South Church(老南教堂) etc. 下面第二張照片是Trinity Church在John Hancock Tower的牆上的反映。
波士頓中國城(Boston Chinatown)是新英格蘭地區唯一的唐人街, 中國城公園位於中國城舊城門外,作為美國有史以來最大的公共設施項目——波士頓大隧道(The Big Dig)工程的一部分,成為波士頓的一處新景觀。
法尼爾廳市場(Faneuil Hall Marketplace)位於波士頓市中心,這裡匯聚了眾多的食店、商店以及娛樂場所,是一處非常受遊客喜歡的地方。Faneuil Hall 在獨立戰爭爆發前, 市民經常利用這一建築物集會,討論獨立與自由等問題, 故被稱為「自由的搖籃」, 現在是自由之路(Freedom Trail)的一站。昆西市場(Quincy Market)有種類眾多的小吃, 看的眼花繚亂。
老北教堂(Old North Church)是波士頓最古老仍活躍的教堂。 在美國革命期間,保羅里維爾(Paul Revere)得悉英軍要發動突襲,連夜騎馬長途跋涉,通知民兵準備, 著名的信號「如果從陸路來,點一盞燈;如果從海路來,點兩盞燈」據說就是掛在這教堂尖塔上。這座教堂內有一尊華盛頓的半身像,說是最像他的肖像。後面照片是Paul Revere雕像和故居。

坐渡輪到紐約市半日遊 Half Day in Manhattan 2013
在新澤西吃完三菜一湯午飯後,然後從這裡坐渡輪, 到紐約市區。 只需要$8.25美元的費用,就可以乘著海浪, 在湛藍的天空與白雲下,欣賞著紐約城市的背景, 十分暇意。
紐約市區像棋盤,很容易走動,半日就可以了。三十多年前曾訪問過紐約市,感謝美東校友招待, 我們可以再次訪問輝煌的Manhattan, 這是我第一次貼美東照片。
After we had a nice Chinese lunch in New Jersey, we drove to Weehawken and took a ferry to go to Manhattan Midtown of New York City. The senior fare was $8.25.
The weather was perfect. It was blue sky with white clouds. The city view of Manhattan was just fantastic and beautiful.
The first 3 pictures below show ferry station, ferry and city veiw.
We arrived at W 39th St. of Manhattan 曼哈頓 and there were free buses to take passengers to various parts of the city. We took a bus and went to W 49th St. and 6th Ave, a place near Rockefeller Center 洛克菲勒中心.
洛克菲勒中心 Rockefeller Center:
Walked along 5th Ave.
The entrance and inside Central Park 中央公園.
Walked along and ate at 7th Ave.
Walked toward Time Square 時代廣場.
時代廣場 Time Square:
天黑了,搭車回新澤西,30英里的車程,票價只需要$5.25美元, 很花得來。
Nigth time, many people gathered at Time Square, time for us to take bus at Port Authority Terminal to go back to New Jersey. The fare was $5.25 which is very good for a 30 mile ride.
