Chapter 923 I like it
The United States feels that Yunluo is far less powerful than Egypt, and Tibet and India, but it is a kaleidoscope, which allows Yunluo to fully feel the charm and feelings of different styles even if he only takes a quick look for a month and a half. The dusk and night of Manhattan on the roof of the Empire State Building, and the Washington National Mall recalls the deeds of his ancestors.∽↗
Geothermal resources of Yellowstone and wonders of Canyon Falls, Light of God in Antelope Valley, Texas chick's cowboy hat and tight hips, Monument Valley's sunset at Grand Canyon.
The bright sunshine of California Highway One and the azure waters, the paper-like mistress of Sin City in Las Vegas, the picturesque autumn scenery of the Great Teton, the hot air balloon festival in Albuquerque, the dangerous temptation of the cliffs of Horseshoe Bay, and the smoke-like past along Route 66.
This skydiving was also a coincidence decision. I originally planned to go to New Zealand next year and then go to Seville to complete the skydiving DIY, but who can guarantee next year's things? Isn't it better to choose a day to hit the day? It's also because of some recent changes. I feel a little depressed and pessimistic, and I feel that I need to vent my strength.
I haven't jumped over the pole or tried paragliding before. This time I have a sense of being straight to the topic without foreplay.
It is not a lie to say that fear is not a lie, but at this moment the blood of the adventurous spirit is beginning to boil, and the excitement and expectation are far more than fear. What's more, although Yun Luo has a fear of heights, this height has far exceeded Yun Luo's fear, and it doesn't matter.
Brother Shang Chao, who was walking with Yun Luo, had always had a serious expression, maybe a little nervous. Later, he said he was afraid when he was about to jump out of the cabin door, because he came to his senses at that time, "This is a skydiving!" Yun Luo had been communicating with the Polish beauty in the co-pilot, very relaxed and excited, and the altimeter was rising. Yun Luo couldn't wait~
When I really moved to the open hatch, my first reaction was that the wind was strong and cold (the temperature in California was over 30 degrees during the day, but the height was different). Below were lattice-like farms and thin-line-like roads. The brown land in California and some undulating mountains were also very clear.
There are two azure blues, which are perris slake and another larger lake. The clouds have lost the concept of height and are instead rushing towards this picturesque land.
The most exciting thing about skydiving is the more than 50 seconds of free fall, especially the moment when you jump out of the cabin door. It feels unspeakable. If you have to describe it in words - that is the moment when Yun Luo is closest to pure freedom in this life!
At that moment you truly handed over yourself, at that moment you felt that your soul was no longer restrained, at that moment you knew that facing fate, letting it go naturally may be the best way~~~Recalling the erratic feeling of falling and floating in your dreams that occasionally appeared in your dreams, it has now become a reality. After adapting to weightlessness and adjusting your breathing, justenjoyit!
After 8,000 feet of free fall, at about 5,000 feet, the parachute is opened, and then you enjoy the pleasure of gliding. The most high thing is to circle 360, your face is facing down, and the earth rotates n 360 degrees from the perspective. To be honest, it is still a little dizzy.
At this moment, I can calmly appreciate the California style from God's perspective, as well as other colorful parachutes dotted in the air under my feet.
After landing safely, Yun Luo opened a can of beer, closed his eyes and tried to recall the feeling of jumping out of the cabin and losing weight, but he could no longer piece together the scene at that time, only a visual impression - the plane almost instantly left him, and the sky and the earth were translated or rotated by the horizon.
In the movie "A Lovely Walk", the protagonist in the movie "A New Year" has experienced an unprecedented dive and has been unable to calm down for a long time. His eyes are wet, and Yun Luo has understood such a madman at this moment.
It seems that you can only experience it again when you skydiving next time. The wonderful ** is always short. Some friends also asked if you can still get pleasure in daily small things (such as xxoo) after this adrenaline stimulation. xxoo doesn't know, but when you think of the next journey, you will still be restless.
One was cut out from the bucket list. However, two new ones were added: 1. Go to dahab to take the diving license 2. Go to pokhlar to take the paragliding license (ps: wallet means a lot of pressure). However, once it is included in the bucket list, it means that it will definitely be realized before life is over, and there is nothing to discuss:)
Life is about constantly trying and experiencing it. It is time for the Yangtze River Source volunteers to clear up this wish. Nnd! Written on the Red Eye Flight from Los Angeles to Chicago, the 13-day Route 66 crossing journey is about to begin.
To be fair, Yunluo prefers natural scenery. This time, this September trip is also more impressed by western national parks such as Yellowstone and Grand Canyon, and the significance of visiting cities in the east.
It’s like when you come to China, you have to take a look at some point in the capital. Fortunately, I have read a series of Linda’s books before, and I have a little understanding of American history, but I am not interested in it. Visiting some museums and historical buildings will also be more interesting.
I set off in the afternoon, flew for 14 hours, landed at Washington IAD Airport. The local time was 7 pm. I didn’t think the flight time was long, because I didn’t sleep all night the day before. After watching a movie and a documentary on the plane, I fell asleep and woke up. I was about to land.
The movie is played by Adam and Barrymore, which is very relaxed and warm. The documentary is the legendary "China on the Bite of the Tongue 2". Watching Yunluo's dazzling food in Greater China on a plane leaving China is simply looking for abuse. Before she arrived in the United States, her stomach was already homesick. In fact, when she went abroad, the only factor that made Yunluo miss her homesick was eating.
Traveling to Southeast Asia, traveling around the island and Egypt. Every time I return to the capital, the first spicy temptation is the first time I will be filled with the hot and happy bubbles when I burp!
Although it was cloudy, the air was clear and bright, the woods were lush, and the maple leaves began to turn yellow, the lawn was neatly trimmed, and the stone roads in the forest were scattered with fallen leaves and fine branches. Every time people who ran in the morning would say hello to each other, "touching" and "hi" whenever they walked back.
I saw a few deer in the woods near the road. The deer in the park and the deer in the zoo are completely different. The trip to the Montenegro Park allowed Yunluo to feel the temperament here for the first time, quiet, orderly and loving.
When I visited the University of Maryland, I felt the same, clean and orderly, and the buildings had a century-old history, with red brick walls. The church-style spire and large lawns were the students' sports field, football, baseball, and football-playing crowds played and played on the lawn that was large in three football fields without disturbing each other.
On some other lawns are young people holding books and naughty squirrels.
It’s really a happy thing to study on such a campus. On the way back at night, the three spires of Mormon Church are particularly conspicuous in the afterglow of the sunset. In fact, the church itself is not that majestic. It is because it is built on a mountain and it looks very tall.
At night, he wanted to smoke and go out to buy a lighter. Mushroom mm also told Yunluo that he would give the money honestly when he encountered a robbery, and he also asked Yunluo to prepare $20 in his pocket. In this story, Yunluo also heard from Christopher, a German who Langduo met, that he would always keep some cash in his pocket when he traveled in South America, and he would save his life when he encountered a robbery with a gun.
Is it so exaggerated? Because of the mushroom's wrong guidance, Yun Luo walked far away but couldn't find the 711 she said, and passed a road that passed through the park. A black man came towards him, which made Yun Luo more alert. Except for some big cities, there were indeed almost no people on the streets in other small towns at night, and it was dark.
More than a month later, Yun Luo gathered in the square where a group of homeless men gathered together in the early morning at the entrance of the Greyhound Bus Station. He found a black guy asking for cigarettes and smoked, and it was already very relaxed. It was still a bit weak when he was just a little newcomer.
At noon, I went to the Chinese Supermarket to buy some vegetables. I also met an American woman holding a bundle of vegetables and asked Yunluo and Yan Chenyu how to make it. It seems that few people eat vegetables in the United States. The most common vegetable is broccoli. The most common method is boiling. Yunluo's food art is full of variety in China. Americans really can't understand it.
The first stop in the afternoon was the Mormon Church. As we all know, the Mormon Church is headquartered in Salt Lake City. The Mormon Church is the most spectacular, but in fact, the Mormon Church in Maryland is more magnificent. The six golden spires are distributed in the shape of hexagrams. On the spire of the highest main tower is a portrait of a horn blowing.
Later, when I arrived in Salt Lake City, I realized that the figure was actually an angel named John the Baptist. The church door was not open and I couldn't go in. Mushroom mm said he should not go in. When he met a missionary, he would catch you and say a lot. Then he realized that only Mormon churches could enter. Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu couldn't even enter.
Annapolis is the capital of Maryland. It is located in a small town with a history of more than 300 years. After the War of Independence, it was the temporary capital of the United States. Before Mushroom mm arranged this trip, Yunluo actually had no idea about this place. After more than an hour's drive, he accidentally entered the military management area of the Navy Academy.
The handsome naval female soldiers pointed Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu the right way to the seaside and the old city, and finally arrived at this small town that made people fall in love at first sight in the evening. The dense branches made the quiet street look more quiet. The old houses on both sides were of various colors, thick but not bright. What I like most were the Mediterranean style decoration appearance and the arranged courtyard.
When I walked to the beach, many sailing boats and yachts came into my eyes. Unfortunately, the weather was bad. The cloudy sea water was gray-blue. I turned around and walked around the old city. The rolling sidewalks were covered with brown-red bricks. Uphill to the highest point was the Municipal Hall. Later, I saw the municipal halls in many towns, including Salt Lake City, almost all have Roman column semicircular domes, similar to the Capitol.
Annapolis is also a photography paradise. The streets and alleys of the old city are filled with old houses with long history. The sunset squeezes out from the dark clouds, making half of the sky golden.
Sitting on the street and eating a bowl of freshly cooked pulp ice cream, the rum tastes are just right, and the people here seem to be very leisurely. Many of them are native American tourists, with almost no Asian faces, perhaps because they are not very well known.
