    芝加哥周边漫记

    夏季学期,虽然不用再上课了,但也要去实验室,所以也没时间出去玩,只能逛逛芝加哥周边,聊胜于无了。话说回来,这边的夏天是最舒服的,7月下旬了温度还是20出头,正好可以多活动活动。
     
    Baha'i是个很年轻的教派,十九世纪才创立,不过包容性却很大,因为它倡导宗教同源,全世界人民是一家,想来教众们应该都听理想化的。不过芝加哥北郊的Baha'i Temple的出名倒不是因为教义本身,而在于它精致漂亮的外观,在乏善可陈的芝加哥近郊也算一个旅游看点。话说Baha'i在世界上一共才7座教堂,每个大洲上各只有一座,却都颇有特色
     
    第一次去Baha'i Temple是散步的时候无意中撞见的,后来听说晚上更好看,于是又专门去参观了一次。教堂在夜空下散发出蓝盈盈的光,静谧下有种神圣的威严,特别进入大堂之后,让人都不由自主的不敢大声说话。教堂内部的结构更令人赞叹,于是不顾禁令偷拍数张,却发现由于心虚全花了。后来发现还有不少人明目张胆的拍摄,相比之下真是有贼心没贼胆呵呵,不知其他低着头虔诚祷告的人做何感想。
     
    Chinatown
    芝加哥华人不多,于是Chinatown便也很小,没多大功夫就转了两圈。房子很老,街道上有种熟悉的下水道的味道。有个国名党的分部和孙中山的纪念馆,还有圈圈功的报社。去老四川吃了一顿,却还是没有吃到正宗的水煮鱼。想念北京的水煮鱼了,还想念麻辣烫,想念西门鸡翅...
     
    Bike Tour
    两个人骑着一辆自行车,歪歪扭扭的穿过了半个芝加哥城。城里基本没有自行车的容身之地,只有很少的几条自行车的专用车道。不过湖边的风景很美,在疾驰的汽车边骑行的感觉很好。
     
    独立日的烟火
     烟火规模自然不能和国内比,不过看热闹的人倒是堪比北京高峰期的地铁。来到米国之后第一次看到这么多人,在人群中寸步难行。不知道是传统,还是大家都比较无聊空虚。拿相机拍了一段,看着烟花掉进水里,是狂欢过后的落寞。
