Travel with Kris to the United States #4 -San Diego Part 1 [美國聖地亞哥遊記 Part1]

Hi Steemit friends, how are you doing today? Last time I shared Santa Monica and Griffith Observatory with you, I am glad that many of you like it and left a comment on my post. Today I am going to continue my US travel experience with San Diego, a city approximate 120 miles south of Los Angeles. It takes around 3 hours driving from Los Angeles and it's a perfect spot for weekend getaway if you live in Los Angles. San Diego is widely known as" America's Finest City" with amazing weather and beautiful beaches.

Steemit的朋友大家好。 上次跟大家分享了Santa Monica和Griffith天文館，很多朋友留言說很喜歡Santa Monica的户外購物區和Griffith天文館的夜景，謝謝大家的留言和Upvote，讓我有寫下去的動力。 今天想跟大家分享我在聖地亞哥的經歷。聖地亞哥位於洛杉磯以南約120英里。 從洛杉磯開車約需3個小時，如果您住在洛杉磯，聖地亞哥是周末度假的理想地點喔。 聖地亞哥被譽為“美國最美麗的城市”，擁有氣候溫和美麗的海港。

1. Little Italy Mercato Farmers' Market 週六Little Italy Mercato市集

Attending a weekly pop-up open-air Farmer's Market is my favourite activity in San Diego as a foodie, so I would like to start my trip with Little Italy Farmer's Market today. There are different locations and schedules for San Diego's Farmers Markets. So if you are interested in visiting, it's better plan beforehand and check the schedule and location. Everyone has their own opinion on which is the best, but Little Italy Mercato is my favourite among them. It's the biggest with over 200 tents. The options are endless, you can sample the fruits grown by the local farmers and tasty treats by the local bakers in the farmers market. As a beautiful beachfront city, you can always found the freshest seafood in this market. I am a big fan of sea urchins and oysters, the taste of the just-caught sea urchin is unforgettable. Very buttery. Farmer's market is very enjoyable that you can listening to live music while strolling through these colourful booths.

作為一個食貨，逛週六的市集是我在聖地亞哥最喜歡的節目，所以我決定要從逛Farmers Market開始今天的旅程。溫馨提示：聖地亞哥的Farmers Market有不同的時間表，週一到週日，每天擺放的地點和時間都不一樣，所以想去的朋友出發前先查一下時間表，以免食閉門羹喔。週六這個Farmers Market是所有Farmer market中最大型的，也是我最喜歡的，二百多個攤位，讓人目不暇給。由新鮮的瓜菜水果到特色小食，新鮮海產，手工藝品，各種各樣的攤位都可以在這𥚃找到。和我一樣喜歡吃海鮮的朋友，千萬別錯過即開生蠔和海膽，很鮮甜美味。10元美金就可以品嚐原隻的新鮮海膽，真的很棒><逛Farmers Market給我的感覺更像參加户外派對，一邊聽著街頭藝人的表演，享受著當地美味的食物和加州美好的太陽。

There are many tent vendors on the sidewalk with variety food, drinks, fresh produce, arts and crafts.

人行道上兩旁放滿了不同的攤位，各種農產品，飲料，特色小食，工藝品。

These are the food I bought, oysters, crepe, pizza and sea urchin.

今天買了現做煎餅，生蠔，海膽和比蕯。我們就在這裡解決了午餐️🙈

Visitors can see the whole process in making this delicious crepe.

我們買了個培根雞蛋芝士煎餅，下單後，我們看著店主製作這個美味的煎餅。(一直流口水)

You can sample some fresh-from-farm oranges and grapefruits from regional farmers.

店主都會很熱情識你品嚐他們的食物，這一攤的橘子和葡萄柚很甜。

I ordered a mango lychee lemonade, it is very refreshing. I saw some people order the chilli lemonade, I wonder how does it taste like, sweet and chilli? LOLLL That sounds weird to me..

我點了個芒果荔枝檸檬水，很清爽，喝起來還食到芒果荔枝果肉。我看到其他人點了杯撒滿辣椒粉的檸檬水，嗯…感覺很奇怪🙈

Chilli Mango Lemonade. Do you wanna have a try?

這杯就是辣椒粉芒果口味的檸檬水，你想試試嗎？

Some children are performing, they are so talented.

有些小朋友在現場演奏小提琴和大提琴，為Farmer market增添了藝術的氣氛

2. Hotel del Coronado 科羅納多酒店

Driving 5 miles from downtown, we get to the Hotel del Coronado. Hotel del Coronado, is a national historic oceanfront hotel opened in 1886. This all-wood stunning architecture is in Victorian style, that is rarely found in the US, and it was named a National Historic Landmark in 1977. As the county's grandest seaside resort, it has attracted presidents, royalty and celebrities to spend their vacations throughout the history. Occupied with 28 acres of the beachfront property at Coronado beach, it provides a nice opening view of pacific ocean. By many, it considered as the best hotel in San Diego, especially for those looking for a beach or family vacations.

從市中心行駛5英里，我們到達下一個目的地，科羅納多酒店。 科羅納多酒店於1885年開業，是一座歷史悠久的海濱渡假酒店。維多利亞風格的全木建築在美國少數僅存，科羅納多酒店是全美國第二大木結構建築，更於1977年被評為國家歷史名勝，在美國的建築史上有著重要地位。作為該縣最大的海濱度假勝地，開業以來吸引了不少名人，皇室和總統到訪住宿。科羅納多建於科羅納多酒店海灘旁，全木建築的紅色屋頂白色牆面擁有濃郁的西班牙風情，據說這間酒店是全手工搭建而成，搭頂的屋頂沒有使用任何一根鐵釘。很多美國人都說這是全聖地亞哥最好的酒店，有著美麗的海灘，很適合和家人和情人渡假。

離遠看到已經被這個全木設計的紅屋頂所吸引

The signature red tile roof.

這個塔頂真的沒有用任何的鐵子嗎？🙈

Other than swimming in this enormous swimming pool, there are abundant fun activities and luxurious amenities provided to the guests.

科羅納多酒店有三個室外泳池，這是其中一個，酒店內還有不同的設備和節目供住客選擇.

People are having party by the beach.

沙灘上不少人在聚會。

The long walk on the beach and the blue sky are perfect for vacation.

今天的天氣很好， 曬著暖暖的陽光，吹著徐徐的海風。

I found a sand castle on the beach. This is so fancy.

我們在沙灘上找到個用沙堆砌成的堡壘，堆砌它的人好利害～

3. Balboa Park 巴博雅公園

With more than 17 museums, eight major gardens and a San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park is a place where culture and nature collide. It's the nation's largest urban cultural park. Different architectural style can be found in this park, from Spanish Colonial Revival to mid-century Modern. I was overwhelmed by a vast range of the museums, from history to culture, art to photography, train to automobiles, etc. It takes more than one day to see and enjoy it all. You can buy a 1-day balboa Park Explorer Pass that provides admission to 17 museums for USD$46. As we don't have enough time to visit all the museums, we just walk around in the park.

巴博雅公園是全國最大的城市文化公園，也是美國植物最美的都市公園之一。園區廣達1200英畝，擁有17個博物館，8個主要花園和聖地亞哥動物園。博物館的展覽提材廣泛，從歷史到文化，人類，藝術，攝影，飛行，汽車等，如果喜歡逛博物館的朋友，不要錯過巴博雅公園喔。從這個公園可以看到不同的建築風格，從西班牙殖民複興到中世紀現代都可以在這裡找到。如果大家打算探索這17個博物館，我建議大家買園區$46美元通行證，因為逐一付費會貴很多。不過今天我們沒有足夠的時間，所以只是逛逛花園和欣賞園區的建築物， 也用了差不多3個小時。

On the left we have California Tower, often used as a icon of Balboa Park. It offers a panoramic view of San Diego. On the right we have San Diego Museum of Man.

左邊這座是加州塔，於塔頂可看到整個園區的風景，經常被人們用作代表巴博雅公園。而右邊側是人類博物館，西班牙殖民期教堂式建築，彩色磁磚圓頂，很吸人眼球。

這是免費的紅色遊園車balboa tram，每30分鐘一班，開車時間為8:30am-6:00pm。

Here's the entrance of San Diego Museum of Man.

這是人類博物館的入口。

Here is the Spreckels Organ Pavilion which has the largest outdoor pipe organ in the world. Unfortunately, it closed on the day we visit.

這是半圓形的劇場，放有全球最大的戶外管風琴，我們去那天剛好沒有演奏，它被鎖在鐵門裏，所以就無緣曕仰。

Love the details on this stunning pavilion in Italian-Renaissance style.

在意大利文藝復興風格的涼亭佈滿了精緻的雕刻。

I visited this place with my family. We are all impressed by the beauty of the architectures and nature.

跟家人的合照。

Walking to the Plaza de Panama, you will see a giant bronze statue of a man riding a house. The sculpture above is call El Cid Statue, a Castilian military leader in medieval Spain.

走到Plaza de Panama,你會看到這個大型的銅像，上面的雕塑是中世紀西班牙的軍事領袖El Cid。

這是西班牙式建築的噴泉稱Bea Evenson Fountain，這天剛好這位可愛的小朋友在噴泉旁玩水被我拍下來了。
