The United States does not feel as strongly as Egypt, Tibet and India, but it is a kaleidoscope, allowing Yunluo to fully feel the charm and feelings of different styles here even if it is only for a month and a half, the dusk and night of Manhattan on the roof of the Empire State Building, and the National Mall in Washington recalling the deeds of the sages. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The geothermal resources of Yellowstone and the wonders of canyon waterfalls, the light of God in Antelope Canyon, the cowboy hats and tight hip line of Texas chicks, the sunset of Monument Valley at the Grand Canyon.

The sunshine and blue waters of California's Highway 1, the sin city of Las Vegas, the picturesque fall colors of Grand Teton, the hot air balloon festival in Albuquerque, the dangerous lure of the cliffs of Horseshoe Bend, and the smoky past along Route 66.

This skydive is also a coincidental decision, originally planned to go to New Zealand next year to jump, and then go to Seville to complete the skydive DIY, but who can guarantee next year, live in the present, isn't it, so it is better to choose a day than to hit the day. I also caught up with some recent changes, and I was a little depressed and pessimistic, and I felt that I needed to vent hard.

I hadn't jumped or tried paragliding before, so this time there was a sense of going straight to the point without foreplay

It would be a lie to say that there is no fear at all, but at this moment, the blood of the adventurous spirit is beginning to boil, and there is far more excitement and expectation than fear, not to mention, although Yunluo has a fear of heights, this height is far more than the height of Yunluo's fear, but it doesn't matter.

Brother Shang Chao, who was traveling with Yunluo, had a solemn expression, maybe a little nervous, and later he said that he was more scared when he was about to jump out of the hatch, because he came back to his senses at that time, "This is a parachute jump!" Yunluo has been making eye contact with the Polish beauty in the co-pilot, very relaxed and excited, and the altimeter has been rising. Yunluo can't wait~

When you actually move to the open hatch, the first reaction is that it is very windy and cold (the temperature in California is over 30 degrees during the day, but the sky is different), and below is a lattice-like farm and a thin line of roads, and the veins of California's brown earth and some rolling mountains are also clear.

There are also two patches of blue that are Perrislake and another larger lake. Yunluo loses the concept of height, and instead pounces on this picturesque earth~

The coolest part of skydiving should be the more than 50 seconds of free fall, especially the moment when you jump out of the cabin door, the feeling is indescribable, if you have to describe it in words - that is the closest thing to pure freedom in Yunluo's life!

At that moment you really surrendered yourself, at that moment you felt that your soul no longer had any restraints, and at that moment you knew that facing fate and going with the flow might be the best way~~~ Recalling the occasional feeling of falling in your dreams before, it has now become a reality. After adjusting to weightlessness and adjusting your breathing, justenjoyit!

After 8,000 feet of free fall, at an altitude of about 5,000 feet, the parachute opens, and then you enjoy the thrill of gliding, and the highest thing is to do a 360 circle, you face down, and the earth does n 360 degrees rotation in the view. To be honest, it's still a bit dizzy.

At this moment, you can calmly appreciate the California style from God's point of view, as well as the other colorful parachutes dotted in the air under your feet.

After a safe landing. Yun dropped a can of beer, closed his eyes and tried to recall the feeling of first jumping out of the cabin and then being weightless, but he could no longer piece together the scene of that time, only the visual impression - the plane was far away from him almost instantly, and the sky and the earth were translating or rotating with the horizon as the divide.

In the movie "Go Away in Style", the actor couldn't calm down for a long time after experiencing an unprecedented dive. His eyes were wet, and Yunluo more or less understood that kind of magic at this moment

It seems that you will only be able to experience it again until the next skydive. Wonderful ** is always short-lived. Some friends asked if they could still get pleasure in daily small things (such as xxoo) after this adrenaline stimulation, xxoo didn't know, but when they thought of the next journey, they would still be restless

One item was crossed off the bucket list. But two new ones were added: 1. Go to Dahab to get a diving license 2. Go to Pokhlar to get a paragliding license (PS: wallet means a lot of pressure). But once it's on the bucket list, it means that before the end of life, it will definitely come true, nothing to discuss :)

Life is to keep trying to experience, and it's time for the Yangtze River Source volunteers to liquidate their last wishes, NND! Written on a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Chicago, a 13-day Route 66 crossing trip is about to begin.

In all fairness, Yunluo prefers natural scenery, and this September trip is also more longing for Yellowstone, Grand Canyon and other western national parks, and the significance of visiting cities in the east.

It's like coming to China and having to step on a spot in the capital, but fortunately, I've read a series of books by Linda before, and I know a little about American history and don't be more interested, and it will be more interesting to visit some museums and historical buildings.

Departing in the afternoon, the flight lasted 14 hours, and landed at the IAD airport in Washington, D.C., at 7 p.m. local time, and it didn't feel like the flight was long, because I had barely slept all night the day before, and after watching a movie and a documentary on the plane, I fell into a coma and woke up to land.

The movie is played by Adam and Barrymore, a very relaxed and warm film, the documentary is the legendary "A Bite of China 2", the plane leaving China to see the dazzling food in the clouds and the Great China is simply looking for abuse, and before I arrived in the United States, my stomach was already homesick. In fact, when traveling abroad, the only factor that makes Yunluo feel homesick is eating.

The trip to Southeast Asia, the trip around the island and the trip to Egypt, every time I return to the capital, the first meal is without exception spicy temptation, Mao Xuewang goes down, and the bubbles of happiness are bubbling with a burp!

Although it was cloudy, the air was clear and transparent, the trees were lush, there were maple leaves that began to turn yellow, the lawn was neatly trimmed, and the stone path in the forest was scattered with fallen leaves and fine branches, and people who jogged in the morning would greet each time they met with a smile "morning~" and "hi", and they would return on the way back.

Seeing a few deer in the woods near the road, the deer in the park and the deer in the zoo are not the same concept at all. The trip to Black Mountain Park made Yunluo feel the temperament here for the first time, quiet and orderly. There is love.

The University of Maryland went to visit it, and it felt the same way, clean, orderly, and the buildings were all 100 years old with red brick walls. The church-like spire and large lawn are the students' sports fields, and the football, baseball, and football crowds play and play on the lawn the size of three football fields.

Other lawns were lined with young men intently holding books, as well as mischievous squirrels.

It's quite a pleasure to study on such a campus, and on the way back in the evening to catch the sunset, the three spires of Mormon Church stand out in the sunset, but the church itself is not so majestic. Because it is built on a mountain, it is very tall.

I want to smoke at night and go out to buy a lighter, Mushroom MM also told Yunluo to honestly give money to others if he encounters a robbery, and specially asked Yunluo to prepare 20 dollars to put in his pocket, this story Yunluo also heard Langduo meet the German Christopher said, he always has some change in his pocket when he travels in South America, and he is used to save his life when he encounters armed robbery.

Is it such an exaggeration, because the mushroom is pointing the wrong way? As a result, Yunluo walked a long way and didn't find the 711 she was talking about, and passed a road through the park. A black man approached him and made Yunluo more vigilant, except for some metropolises on the side of the United States, other small towns were indeed almost empty on the streets at night, and the lights were blind.

More than a month later, Yunluo gathered in the early hours of the morning at the gate of the Greyhound bus station, in the square where a group of homeless people gathered. And finding a black guy to beg for cigarettes is already extremely easy. It's a bit of a nourishment when you first arrive.

At noon, I went to Huaguo Supermarket to buy some vegetables, and I met an American woman holding a bundle of vegetables and asked Yunluo and Yan Shenyu what to do, in the United States, it seems that there are very few vegetables, and their most common vegetable is broccoli. The most common way to do this is boiling. The clouds fall into the great China, and the food art is full of tricks, and Americans really can't understand it.

The first stop in the afternoon is the Mormon Church, as we all know that the Mormon church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, the Mormon Church is the most spectacular, but in fact, this Mormon Church in Maryland is more magnificent, with six golden spires distributed in the shape of six-pointed stars, and the highest main tower spire is a trumpet-blowing figure.

Later, when I came to Salt Lake City, I learned that the portrait was actually an angel named John the Baptist, the church door was not open, and there was no way to go in to visit, and the mushroom mm said that it was better not to go in, and the missionaries would catch you saying a lot, and then I learned that all Mormon churches were only allowed to enter by Mormons, and Yunluo and Yan Shenyu couldn't enter if they wanted to.

Annapolis is the capital of Maryland, located in, is a small city with a history of more than 300 years, ** after the war was used as the temporary capital of the United States, before Mushroom MM arranged this trip, Yunluo actually did not know this place at all, after more than an hour's drive, accidentally stumbled into the military management area of the naval academy.

The handsome female navy soldier pointed out the right way to the seaside and the old city to Yunluo and Yan Shenyu, and finally arrived at this small city that made people fall in love at first sight in the evening, the dense branches of the trees made the quiet streets seem quieter, the old houses on both sides were of various colors, thick but not bright, and the favorite was the appearance of those Mediterranean-style decorations and the arranged courtyards.

Walking to the sea, many sailing yachts come into view, but unfortunately the weather is not good, the sea water on a cloudy day is gray-blue, turn over and turn into the old city to go around, the undulating sidewalks are paved with brown-red bricks, and the highest place uphill to the highest place is the town hall, and later I have also seen the town halls of many towns, including Salt Lake City, almost all of them are Roman column semi-domes, similar to the Capitol building.

Annapolis is also a photographic paradise, with the streets and alleys of the old town lined with old houses with a long history, and the sunset squeezing through the dark clouds to dye half of the sky golden.

Sitting down on the side of the street and eating a bowl of freshly made pulp ice cream, the rum flavor blends just right, and the people here seem to be very laid-back, and many of them are tourists from the United States, and there are almost no Asian faces, perhaps because they are not well known.

Mushroom MM said that Americans are not like Chinese people who show off their wealth more than houses and cars, but people compare yards to see whose yards are beautifully arranged or unique. (To be continued.) )
