Lighthouse, lobster boats, fog. So typically Maine.
Lubec, Maine, on the border with Canada. It’s Canada on the other side of the river.
Quoddy Point State Park. Sail Rock (in the water) is the easternmost point of the continental U.S. And Anna has previously visited the southernmost point in the continental U.S.
Amazingly, the sun was out for much of the day.
Just in time for another trip up Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park.
The fog set in again shortly before sunset.
Still foggy and rainy today, and it’s going to be like this throughout this week. So we decided to drive around the island a bit to explore off the beaten track.
Colorful buoys for lobster fishing.
A walk in the forest. Things are dripping wet from the morning rain.
Random shot of the forest floor.
Lavender and misty marsh, near the cottage we rented.
Front yard daisy.
Crummy weather again….
Foggy and rainy…
Flowers.
Not the best weather, but still a breathtaking view.
The 25th state for the little one. Half of all states in 4 years, not bad for a little trekker.
Boston Common.
Anna loves the Brattle Book Shop.
在南外的时候老师们总是说，人家杭外的学生如何如何，你们要给南外争气啊。回想起来，老师的用意一定是要激励我们这些小毛孩努力学习，然而副作用有二：一是下意识地总对杭外有些敌视，直到进了大学看见了活的杭外人，觉得其实也很和蔼可亲么也没个三头六臂；二是恶俗的精英意识得以萌芽，觉得天下的中学，就算杭外强了那么一点点，那南外也是一校之下万校之上了。别的外语学校，比如武汉，重庆和长春的，那自然是差了一些。至于各处的附中和一二三四五六七八中什么的，名字上就输了一层。现在看起来，井底得很。（至于大学，法学院，律所版本的恶俗，改天再行批判）。
想起来杭外的原因是读到了这么一条新闻，发现连杭外也要变成师范附属中学了，而且老师，学生和家长的意见都很大，不知道是否和绿坝一样，事先没有沟通，事后无法解释，强行实施的一项莫名其妙的政策。
工作还是时紧时慢, 五月份的疯狂已经过去了, 六月份不那么忙, 手上却总有点事情断断续续做不完.
老二预计在十一月份出生, 暂定学名嘉南, 暂用洋名Andrew, 网名小小南, 特此广而告之.
