She first said that Indiana is still in winter and the temperature is still very cold. She also said that she has been very nervous recently and has little sleep every day. Let's take a look in Seattle first and go to Pudu later.

After we arrived in Seattle, USA in the early spring, our daughter, who was studying for a graduate degree at Indiana P.A., has been paying close attention to our "whereabouts".

She first said that Indiana is still in winter and the temperature is still very cold. She also said that she has been very nervous recently and has little sleep every day. Let us first take a look at Seattle , and then go to Pudu a little later. She said that at that time, the earth turned green, and she could also make up some more time to accompany us at Pudu University and Indiana , as well as to visit nearby Chicago .

I remember that in the evening after the first call, she sent another WeChat message: My car is gone. We all immediately became worried about

.

Daughter and her car

Half an hour later, the daughter sent another WeChat message: It was the snow here that it was too big and buried the car.
We still express our concerns. It was a white four-wheel drive car native to Volkswagen, a German company called Tiguan. It cost less than 20,000 in the United States. It was about one third of the price in China when 1 US dollar was convertible to RMB 6.04. The size of the white car, some bird-reliant models, and the extremely easy-to-control power four-wheel drive, are very suitable for a girl to control, even in snowy weather.

that day we were in Seattle and we were worried all morning. At that time, we were following the Chinese agent to visit a church for sale. We looked at the sacred and magnificent community church and saw a beautiful scene shaking in front of us.

The day before yesterday we returned to the hotel in the middle of the night. At that time, a land for retirement community adjacent to the wealthy area was ready to be sold. The place for sale was delayed with documented land deeds, so Ms. Hao and we could only wait alone in the cold and windy night. We obtained information from Lawyer Hou: Kindergartens and nursing homes are both public welfare undertakings, and land in the United States has the same attribute, which makes us motivated.

At noon, my daughter sent me another WeChat message: With the help of many classmates, the car was dug out.

After hearing this, we breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy about it.

After a while, my daughter sent me a WeChat message:

, but it belongs to someone else.

Later, during the whole day of shock, my daughter's car finally saw the light of day again. It was when some senior sisters and younger brothers rushed over and digged without any effort. At dusk, the white car saw the sunset that day.

In early spring, the evening in Seattle is a bit cold, but it is still fresh and the air is always moist.

The female agent who led us to see the church was named Hao. She is from Shenyang, Northeast China. She has settled in the United States for 20 years.

She may have been very interested in the early childhood education that my wife talked about casually, and wanted to understand the deeper issues of investment and output, or wanted to listen more to the biggest bottom line we intend to invest, or wanted to sign an agreement with us that only allows her to exclusively represent the purchase of land or real estate in Seattle. In short, she was very earnestly deciding a "luxury dinner" for a very magnificent and beautiful seafood restaurant. At the moment when the street lights were just shining, she carried us to that warm place with great enthusiasm.

That night, we found the warmth of Seattle, and it was suddenly like we were entering the warm May. We enjoyed the first hearty lobster feast after arriving in Seattle.

. That warm and beautiful night, Ms. Hao sent us back to the Marriott Courtyard hotel.

The wife immediately grabbed Hao's hand and refused to let her leave. Then we entered the same warm and wonderful Marriott Courtyard hotel together and found an equally beautiful, warm and comfortable reception area. My wife took a small basket, took some of the fruits piled up into the hills, and started the Seattle Sleepless Night Fruit Night Talk that night.

was really excited that night!

Perhaps it was because my wife had not talked about her beloved early childhood education for many days. Ms. Hao, the serious listener who appeared that night, became the object of his wife's heart. My wife said that she most wanted to build a small town kindergarten like Disney in the United States. Her voice was soft and she was telling the most gentle emotion:

There is often a small train in front of me, tweeting over.

The colorful children cheered on the platform writing Washington Station in the United States. Their next stop is Sydney.

This is a kindergarten English-level travel game. Every platform has implanted the so-called "value" that children can obtain.

The teachers are wearing black uniforms and top hats, busy for the children.

The huge kindergarten park is full of green and vivid, and will bring many dreams to children.
education designers are free from external troubles and can fully demonstrate her fantasy ideas, thereby fully affecting her children and developing their emotional intelligence and intelligence.
That warm night in Seattle, when my wife described it to Ms. Hao, she had bright tears in her eyes. She smiled happily and was fascinated, and slowly touched the air with her hands. Her strong sense of picture also brought Ms. Hao into a wonderful and unique situation...



went to Bainbridge Island

It seemed that overnight, the spring in Seattle had arrived. When I was heading to the pier to take the ferry, I saw the pine trees on both sides of the road being cleaner under the rare clear sky, turning into a refreshing new green. We are delighted. We will have a completely different beautiful spring in the United States!

Bainbridge Island

wonderful day has begun. On this day, we came to a wonderful island. Ms. Hao, who brought us to Bainbridge Island for
, successfully landed on the island by boat, and then walked past a yacht trek and introduced this somewhat quiet island: this is an island city in Kisap County, with 23,000 residents. Many of the residents on the island are high-paying people working in Seattle. They would rather take a ferry to work every day than stay in this island city with a very good life. This is not only a good place for Seattle citizens to take a vacation, but also a place for Americans in other places to yearn for.
The bay surrounding this island is Puget Sound.
The island is covered with green trees. On the island full of vitality and warm spring, there are very few people, very quiet, quiet, ethereal and wonderful.

I remember many days after landing on the island, I checked the information on Bainbridge Island. At that time, the images of this island were still shaking in front of you, as if you just left here yesterday.
In July 2005, CNN/Money and Money magazines listed Bainbridge Island as the second-living city in the United States. The island has won many awards and comments. I only remember the above one. In fact, this one is really enough for two foreigners coming from the other end of the earth. This island makes us very, very satisfied.

2014The cheap houses sold on Bainbridge Island were in a very good location

014 was the last year before the elimination of the US financial crisis . The RMB against the US dollar was 6.04:1. The real estate prices in the United States were still in low-lying. That year, there were advertising advertisements for selling houses or lands for sale almost everywhere. At this time, the United States' real estate and land were like an airplane before gliding and took off, and it was parked on the runway at the last moment.

At a day on the seaside of the island, there are constant surprises. You don’t know when a squirrel will jump towards you from the tree, and you don’t know when a bird will jump towards you in the sand and grass. They are all looking at you proudly and then leaving.

This kind of pride looks at you, and in the future, when you arrive in the United States with more diverse parks, more beaches, and more national parks, this kind of intimate and uninterrupted blending and coexistence between humans and nature will repeatedly touch your mind full of surprise when you first saw it. Heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me!

When we think we are lost in this seaside bushes, we are walking around the repeated paths, and there is a new scenery not far away.

Later, we traveled through the United States and visited too many private estates, farms, museums, and many private gardens dedicated to the country. In every different scenery, the deep touch made us gather in a manor dream. Later, we were taken to Hainan, China in a dream, and traveled through mountains and rivers to search. When we got home several times, we saw that we had brought back living things on our calves, which were already sucking blood and swelling.

However, we are satisfied with being unable to do so.

Of course, we did not give up. The small volcano that was about to gush from time to time in our hearts still encouraged us. We would not give up our ideals while waiting with peace of mind.

The park is located on the Pacific Ocean, , with a coastline of 80 kilometers and a total area of ​​3,628.54 square kilometers. It is a famous temperate rainforest ecological environment protection area.

This is the last scenic spot we visited twelve days after we arrived in Seattle, and it is also the highlight of our trip in Seattle!

had already returned the Marriott Courtyard hotel in advance before our car entered the scenic area.

Olympic Park will connect us, and will soon be a new destination after a long trip, just like starting a new journey to the Olympics. The park has high mountains and deep valleys and abundant rainfall. It is reported that the annual precipitation is as high as 4,000 mm, thus creating vast temperate forests and alpine glaciers. The geological structure and climate environment in

park are excellent. The west is dense temperate rainforest and glacier-covered peaks in the east.

We came to a forest camp called Twilight.

This campground has very complete facilities, including a bathroom, a shower, a convenience store, etc. There are extremely rich types of plants here, some of the world's largest conifer , up to 70 meters tall; the maple trees can reach 12 meters in diameter, and they are covered with moss. There are bushes on the ground and wild flowers are everywhere, with ferns and lichens everywhere. The dense forest is filled with thick curtains woven by moss, filtering the sunlight into yellow-green colors, making it look gloomy and terrifying. But in this deep and quiet, there is a piece of green everywhere, making people feel as if they are hidden in the green sea and in the world of emerald glass.

We are exploring the Olympic National Park.

Along the desolate beach, you will see the river with snow-filled supply surging waves.

Ancient trees shelter wildlife.

Rush terrain peaks are wrapped in glaciers and subalpine meadows.

The combination of coast, forest and mountain ecosystems creates an amazing wilderness park.

For thousands of years, the native Indians in the United States have been home to the Olympic Peninsula. They are accompanied by hunting, gathering and raising cattle, and continue their traditional life.

I have always had a question: the natural forests growing in the United States have been strictly protected and cut down is not allowed, while the buildings below four floors of Seattle city are mostly wooden structures. Where does such a massive amount of wood come from?

Just as I left the edge of Olympic National Park, I seemed to find the answer: I saw large areas of neat secondary forests and piles of cut down trees.

The protection of the natural environment and the development expected by human material needs seem to be a contradiction, but if the two are handled well, they can move towards the path of sustainable development.



Lumberjack Museum



Lumberjack Museum

In the park, a small lumberjack museum attracted us.

went in and saw that it turned out that hundreds of years ago, before the establishment of the national park, some lumberjacks cut down tall trees in the forest here. The museum displays various tools they used at the time, as well as daily necessities at that time.

looked at these old objects and carefully savored the hard life of the lumberjacks back then. There was no electricity at that time, and all kinds of large tools and machinery used for logging were driven by the steam engine . With the establishment of environmental protection legislation and the establishment of national parks, these things have also entered museums that record history.

At noon on the third day, the Ford car we drove finally came out of the Olympic National Park. The black body was wet and shiny all over.

We have been renting a car for fourteen days in a row, and we are "busy" every day. We have never wiped it. It is still as clean as the new car I just bought.

We bought some simple desserts and coffee at the rest stop next to the national highway. When we were lunch that day, we walked towards the parking lot with our coffee, and saw a brand new car from afar, and suddenly realized that Seattle was a pure city without dust.

At the rest stop, we said goodbye to Jinlong, goodbye to Ms. Hao, and goodbye to lawyer Hou... There is a campus for sale house, which was exclusively represented by Ms. Hao, but has not been negotiated. The more land and real estate we see in Seattle, the more uneasy we feel, but inexplicably lingering fear! We just thought we should settle down first, then go to various places to see more, learn more about early childhood education in the United States, and don’t rush to make decisions.

In front is our tortuous journey.

We are going to travel through Oregon and head to San Francisco, California.

A few years ago, we had already watched a documentary called "America Route 1".

The 17-mile scenery along the line in the video, Carmel Art Town, Hesse Castle, Danish Village ... Every scenery is extremely beautiful and has attracted us deeply. We know that this is the path we must walk at least once in the United States in our life.

We never expected that this highway, which had only taken two days, had been winding and twisting by us, and we walked for eight days.
