seems to be better fit. Scorta in Italian means escort.]
The flight was in the air for about 5 hours before landing at sky harbor
airport. At about the local time 6:30 p.m., our phone got reconnected. Maria
and I kept talking and talking until our voice transmitting through air to
other side stronger than radio waves. We carried our familiar smile on our
faces, but soon stared at each other’s eyes, in the middle of hall way ... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 758 | 5 I was thinking why Ras always shows up when we are just talking about him.
It's uncanny.
Then it struck me. In the 7th book of Harry Potter, the Dark Lord Voldermore
had an enchantment that, whenever someone dares speaking Voldermore's name,
his location will immediately be known, and Voldermore will come after him soon.
That's how they found Harry Potter.
Similarity, anyone? |

发帖数: 185 | 7 再探迷人谷
每到九月底我都要精神亢奋，紧锣密鼓地准备去迷人谷，今年已经是第四年了。前
三次要么功亏一篑，要么干脆未能成行，都是因为天公不作美。今年九月三十，十月一
日天气晴朗，我终于踏入了迷人谷。
迷人谷的英文原意是迷人湖盆地 (Enchantment Lakes Basin)，我觉得迷人谷
这个名字更恰当、更上口。迷人谷匿踪于西雅图以东七十英里的斯图尔特山脉中，呈东
西走向，长约二点五英里。山谷西高东低，西边的阿斯嘎德山口海拔七千八百尺，东边
的维维安湖海拔六千八百尺，从任何一端进谷都需要经过长途跋涉。山谷两侧耸立着九
千尺上下的高山，山上积雪终年不化。谷中有大小湖泊数十个，地貌、植被独特，是宿
营、探险、攀岩爱好者的必到之地。每年九月的最后一个星期和十月的第一个星期，山
谷中落叶松变成金黄色，是一年中最美的时刻。
照片一，日出时刻的普鲁塞克山和侏儒潭，这是我的新朋友莱奥的作品。
由于所处的高纬度、高海拔，迷人谷曾经完全被冰川覆盖。直到一百年前被发现时
，谷底的大部分仍是终年积雪，并没有现在这 |
