Section 933 Little Rain Ticks

Some locals came to dive with their own scuba. It is said that when they are lucky, they can see whales. Walking westward, there are strange rocky beaches, with white waves slapped rhythmically on them.

Going south, passing by the most famous bridge on Highway 1, I parked and played and took photos. In order to take photos of everyone, Yun Luo ran to the cliff opposite the road and began to climb up high, looking for a foothold on the rocks on the nearly 60-degree slope, and then pulled the telephoto to take photos of the other seven friends.

Yunluo felt that he was very hardworking! Then he drove past Dasuer. This was a large forest park. There were many fishing people in the stream in the forest. Many American tourists would choose to take a vacation here for weekends. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu just passed by.

I originally planned to go to Herz Castle, but the ticket price was a bit expensive by counting the number of people. In addition, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu didn't have enough time to go in. The town at the entrance of Herz Castle was pretty good. There was a large farm, along the beach, a Mexican-style house that welcomed the few tourists who came here for lunch.

The horses on the farm were lying lazily, without any moral integrity. Along the way, I saw a thin layer of fog in the depressions of the coastline at the top of the mountainside, like a piece of Hada dedicated to the earth by the ocean. It was very magical and I don’t know what the principle was.

In fact, the biggest surprise of Highway 1 today is that before we arrived at Hertz Castle, we suddenly saw a large open space by the sea, and a large parking lot popped up. There were a lot of cars and tourists. Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu also turned in and saw that it turned out to be a seal beach, which was only 30 meters wide and about 1 kilometer long on a beach.

Hundreds of seals were lying lazily, and tourists could only go to the pier, but the distance was close enough. The seal's expression was definitely cute.

When seeing animals in the animal world on TV, the feeling is far less than seeing the real thing in the zoo. This may be the meaning of the existence of the zoo. And when seeing animals in the zoo, it is far less than encountering and intimate contact with animals in real life, which may be the meaning of travel.

I arrived in Santa Barbara in the evening, a small town where Danes gathered. It was already nightfall here. I went to the beach to see the night, and started rushing to the road again. There were more than 100 fans away from Los Angeles. It was really because of time. In fact, I can only say that I passed by California Highway 1.

There are many places worth stopping and looking at, but there is no time, but it is not a pity. The best scenery is on the road, just like a roadside gas station where you actually meet a homeless man walking with a rope on a cat. It's like a section of the railway by the sea at sunset, with railroad tracks, sleepers, reeds and sea surfaces under the sunset, quiet and beautiful.

I checked in a small town near Los Angeles at night. A Chinese inn runs a cheap hotel here. After arriving in Los Angeles, I got out of the group. Yunluo and Shang Chao shared the room fee. Brother Shang Chao still insisted on sleeping on the ground. I liked the travel companion who sacrificed himself as others.

I had no feelings for the city of Los Angeles and didn't think about where to go. The only thing I was sure of was that I promised to go skydiving with my monk Chao. Sab Rina wanted to go to the outlet. The outlets in Palm Springs and the skydiving location of Per Ris are both east of Los Angeles, so Yunluo and Yan Chenyu planned to go to the outlet for an hour first.

After buying things, we went skydiving together. It turned out that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were too naive.

It would take nearly two hours to drive to the outlet. I planned to visit for one hour, but I actually visited for two and a half hours. Once a woman entered the mall, she would be crazy! Just kidding, Sab Rina has already been shopping very quickly, and Monk Yunluo also bought some things, so it is indeed cheap here.

Yunluo also had to buy some autumn and winter clothes. At Guess, he bought a winter jacket and jeans. The trip to Highway 66 behind him came in handy. Flying from Los Angeles to Chicago is like flying from summer to winter.

When I left the outlet and went to the skydive base of Perris, it was already around 4 o'clock. The skydiving reservation for that day had ended and I could only jump tomorrow. Yunluo Monk Chao made an appointment at 12:00 noon tomorrow without hesitation. Sab Rina hesitated for a while and finally decided to visit Universal Studios as planned tomorrow.

Although the female manager of the skydiving club repeatedly convinced her that the skydiving would definitely be more memorable than Universal Studios. Next, the monk Yunluo signed various disclaimers, life and death statements, and also needed a video to record a video reading a document: the rough idea is that Yunluo knew very well that this was a dangerous sport.

If an accident occurs, it has nothing to do with the skydiving club. In fact, some other activities, such as paragliding, bungee jumping, diving, etc., will sign similar disclaimer certificates, but it is the first time that the video evidence is exposed, which makes me a little nervous.

It was already past 6 o'clock when she drove back to Los Angeles. A friend Shang Chao had known, a Taiwanese man named Sitaphne, who grew up in the United States, invited Yunluo and Yan Chenyu to eat Sichuan cuisine. She was quite spicy, but she never knew what Mao Xuewang was. This time she ordered a serving and opened her eyes and said it was really delicious.

Yunluo finally had Mao Xuewang in the United States, and she was crying. Then she went to Hollywood's Avenue of Fame together, including the Oscar Awards Theater - Dolby Theater, which was originally called Kodak Theater. What Yunluo was more interested in was looking for some actors he knew and liked on the Avenue of Fame.

Including Robin Williams, Natalie Portman, Matt Damon, etc., but they have never found the stars of Audrey Hepburn. They have not done enough guides in advance. Two Russian aunts jumped on the ground to take a photo with Tom Cruise's stars. Tom Ge's charm is really impressed by the women of the fighting nation.

It was another red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Chicago, but as soon as it left the Chicago airport, it quickly became frozen and awake. Chicago was the coldest day of the trip to the United States. The coat I bought at the Palm Springs outlet two days ago came in handy. There was no free wifi at the airport, and Yunluo could not contact his friends. Fortunately, he asked passers-by to ask how to call the pay phone.

The gentleman used skype to call Yunluo and made an appointment to see him at the airport. The cold wind trembled for half an hour, and finally saw his companion driving on Highway 66 this time. Xiao Jiang and Brother Yu, who were about the same age as Yunluo, got in the car first, and Yunluo was really frozen to death.

They had already been to the 0-kilometer starting point of Highway 66. Since they had arrived at the airport, they didn't want to return to the city during the morning rush hour, and it didn't matter if Yunluo started from 0 kilometers, so they drove straight to Wilmington, the first stop today, and after leaving Chicago, they entered the central rural landform.

Although it is cloudy, the soft light makes the crops and fields here. The country roads and various cute houses located in it look fresh and bright. The principle of Yunluo and Yan Chenyu is to follow the navigation and try to follow the section of Historical Highway 66. If there is really no road, you will take the interstate and expressway built behind it.

I have taken a lot of detours for this, and this time I have also taken a walk into the rural road as soon as I come, and I have gained a lot of unexpected scenery.

The iconic Highway 66 element in Wilmington is the Giant of Jimini. It has been used for advertising in history and has now declined. I only saw this one on the roadside. It is not as tall as I imagined. Bradwood's more famous one is Polka-dotd daily veinn, which may have arrived earlier.

This car restaurant is not open yet. Through the glass, you can see a row of Highway 66 signs in the restaurant, with eight signs printed with the names of the eight states that the road crosses. There are four statues of equal size at the door, including Elvis and Monroe. Across the road not far from the restaurant is a "zoo".

However, the animals inside are all colorful dolls, and the materials should be made of sponges. They are quite loving.

The weather gradually cleared up as the road was driving. In Lakesington, the bar was of course empty in the morning, but this was the first time I saw this Mexican-style road bar in the United States. It was exactly the same as in the movie and imagined. There was a pool table in the corner. The bar was located in the middle of the bar.

There are neatly arranged cups hanging upside down, with some skeleton-shaped ornaments next to them, and their eyes will light up. At night, there must be a state of demons dancing. I talked to the boss for a few words and knew that Lexington was not Lexington. The "Lexton's gunshot" in the history book is the one from Massachusetts.

There are quite a lot of cities with the same name. Next, Springfield is also in Missouri. Springfield, Illinois, is the capital of the state. It is famous for the great President Lincoln who lived here for a long time when he was a lawyer when he was young, so there is Lincoln's former residence and cemetery.

Lincoln Cemetery is located in the suburbs of the city, and it is still a little far away. Since it is not along the way, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu did not go there. They just took a look in the city center. The more concentrated famous buildings, the Capitol Building, Union Station and the Lincoln Museum are all around the square. The museum needs tickets, which seems to be $10, and I forgot.

Yunluo once thought that all museums in the United States were free == There was also a seated statue of Lincoln in the square. The Lincoln House, four blocks away, was not conspicuous. The surrounding streets were very quiet and covered with fallen leaves.

Arrive in St. Louis, Missouri in the evening. The main city is located on the west bank of the Mississippi River. You can see the city's landmark building - the West Gate ten kilometers away. However, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu stay at a tel in the eastern suburbs of the city at night, planning to visit this famous large arch again tomorrow.

When I passed the Mississippi River, I went to see the Chainrocksb DGE, the most famous iron bridge on Highway 66. The bridge was written in Springfield on the tour guide, which probably was wrong. The bridge was in St. Louis.

I parked my car on the side of the road and walked up the bridge. The steel bridge was already rusted, and there were also dilapidated gas station pavilions, broken glass gas lights and used tractors. The classic car parked on the bridge, as if the bridge was busy with cars and horses back then. There were no tourists on the bridge, only a woman running.

A pair of black couples walking and a Marine on vacation. When Yunluo walked back, she saw a car parked in front of Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's car. Brother Yu and Brother Jiang didn't understand English, so they waved to Yunluo for help from a distance. Yunluo thought it was illegal to park the car and was arrested by the police, so they sprayed it all the way.

After figuring out the situation, I realized that it was a black girl's car that had no gas and broke down, beside Yunluo and Yan Chenyu asking for help. Yunluo and Jiang decided to use push because the gas station was 600 meters ahead. A week ago, Yunluo and Mushroom mm's car almost broke down on the way back to Salt Lake City in Las Vegas.

Yunluo joked at that time that he would get off the car and push it without gas, but he didn't expect that today would be "perfect".

The last section turned out to be uphill. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu struggled to push it. When they saw a pickup truck just came out of the gas station, they immediately waved to ask for help. The two American buddies rushed over to help push it together. The slope of the last 10 meters was too steep, and a buddy thought of a solution.

He used a pickup truck to hold the car up through the soft clothes. The task was done, and several people who had never known each other sweated and fisted together to celebrate.

There is a free parking lot next to the church. You can walk through a small park to the foot of gatearch. The silver-white arch is the tallest monumental building in the world, semi-elliptical, and the axis is the long axis. It is hard to imagine how such a strange building was built at that time.

All of my companions bought $10 tickets to take the elevator to the top viewing deck, while Yun Luo wandered around the museum in the first-floor lobby. Since it was made the West Gate, this museum also tells stories about the Movement Westward movement, such as how Thomas Jefferson led to this expansion that had far-reaching significance for the United States.

There are also some dolls that are very interesting. When you walk in front of them, they will move, and then "open" to explain how the social class represented by "they" viewed the torrent of the times. There are blacksmiths, vendors, Indians, pioneers, women and children, etc., which is quite interesting.

Next is today's highlight, Cuba Town!ps: Before arriving at Cuba, you will pass by a Harley motorcycle shop, which has many new and used cars, as well as some historical Harley attractions models collected by the boss, which can be regarded as a private Harley Museum.

In addition, you will pass by a very Swiss-style paradise town. The calm orchid lake reflects the exquisite small houses on the grass slope, which is very beautiful.

The Cuban town is famous for its 12 wall paintings. Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu bought some things at McDonald's for lunch, and asked the waiter where the mural (wall paintings) were. The waiter said that you can see it by driving along the main street towards the center of the small town, which is too conspicuous to miss it.

The parking location was under a female pilot's wall painting. At that time, two middle-aged local women were stepping on a ladder to repaint the wall painting. They were very enthusiastic and took a booklet to give to Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu. The map above marked the location of 12 wall paintings (one of which was marked incorrectly).
