Encouraged by the last year’s adventure in the West Coast (San Francisco, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas), we visited several East Coast Cities, Boston, Portland and Acadia National Park, Quebec, Montreal and Albany this Summer.  After 1600 miles driving, we safely returned home tonight.

According to the old Chinese saying that “traveling 1000 miles is more valuable than reading 10000 books”, we benefited from the trip greatly.  Although the trip was little hasty (like “watching flowers on a horse back”), we enjoyed the experiences, esp., the city of Quebec.  I also enjoyed driving through the beautiful highway 201 from Maine to Quebec. “River, mountain, cloud and sunset…,”  I can’t find words to describe the scene.   We also spent almost whole day in Harvard University and MIT, and bought two books (“Wise up” and “In Code”) there.  Although it was questionable whether I could become smarter after this visit and reading the books, it was certainly worth the time and money.

A little thought from watching “changing guards” in Quebec

You could never be the “chief” until you look like him
