哥哥首次交換學生之旅 ~ Day 9 Palace of Fine Arts，Japanese Tea
Garden，St. Aidan's Episcopal Church，takoyaki
Day 9 2014/05/03
昨天，我整理你在美的照片時發現....為何你的衣服不是黑的、就是黃的，又不
是只帶這兩件....我寫LINE給home媽請你更換，你厚....反正，明天不要再黑
黃了啦!! (媽媽我為這件事寫去，好像有點"無聊+囉嗦"喔!)
****************************************************
Breakfast is bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, yogurt and milk. Just in case you're
wondering why we're having scrambled eggs almost every day, it's because
Eason likes them!
今日的早餐，home媽說，因為哥哥太喜歡她煮的炒蛋，想要每天都能吃到....
After breakfast, Eason wrote some postcards while Ethan did his Japanese
homework. Sydon is at Japanese school but I let Ethan stay home to be with
Eason. Otherwise Japanese school finishes at 2:35pm and Eason would be
all by himself. Instead, we're using the time to visit SF. Eason had his leftover
pizza right before we leave for sight seeing.
今天home媽讓buddy在家陪哥哥，沒有去上星期六的日文學校(要不然他就
等到2:35pm)，利用早上及中午的時間，到了SF的市區晃晃。
第一站~Palace of Fine Arts
Ethan brought along a mini Andriod he bought yesterday. In the car we were
thinking of names for the Andriod .After much discussion, we decided to call
this one Disco as it has a bell making music inside him.
還記得昨天去google office嗎【請見DAY 8篇】，buddy買了一個Andriod
的玩偶，兩個人決定要一起帶"它"去逛逛! 他們兩還給它取了一個名字~
Disco，因為它的身體中有一個鈴鐺，可製作出許多的音樂。
The boys are tossing Disco up in the air!
兩個人帶Disco出來後，好像都沒有善待它耶~~~?
又是搶來搶去，或是不斷的往上拋! 都沒有認真喵一下旁邊的神柱....
媽媽我還依稀記得這精雕細琢羅馬式園頂，搭配著玫瑰紅的石柱，站在此處，
彷彿自己置身於古羅馬時代中。
This is a perfect shot! Beautiful background and smiling boys.
這全景是如此的美麗呀!
Boys will be boys; they're not impressed with the view but rather played 'toss
the toy'. Here it comes.
男生就是男生，home媽一拍完照後，兩個人就忍不住開始玩了! 丟過去!
再丟過去!
I told them that if they dropped it, they will owe me a dollar. They now owe me
5 bucks. :-)
home媽逗趣的說:如果娃娃掉到地上一次，他們將要付一元給home媽!
The boys climbed up the wall. Eason had to take it slow as it's quite high. Watch
out, don't look down!
孩子們爬上牆的上方，哇! 很高咧! 要小心，不要往下看咧~~
Can you tell which ones are statues and which ones are real? ;-)
Eason pointed out some ducklings in the pond. How cute is that! Seven little
ducklings with mommy duck.
哥哥發現了水池中，有一隻母鴉帶著七隻小鴨，真的好可愛喔!!
Let's climb up the tree. 哇! 爬樹?!
Best buddies! 真的是好朋友了呢!!
Let's not forget where we are....Palace of Fine Arts 別忘了這美麗的景點!!
第二站~Japanese Tea Garden
Like Chinese in Chinatown, Japanese has a long history in San Francisco.
During WWII they were all rounded up and placed in forced internment but
were released after the war.
這日本式庭園之1894年舉辦加州冬季國際博覽會時所建的庭園，之後，有人
捐贈一些佛像及燈籠，且建了日式茶屋。
Main door to the Japanese Tea Garden.
This is the stall for the hot dog! 兩個孩子玩一玩就說:肚子餓了呢!!
this is the Indian food truck.
But the boys were hungry so we grabbed some lunch first. Ethan and I had
Indian food truck and Eason opted for hot dogs.
媽媽我猜都不用猜，哥哥一定是會選"熱狗"來吃的啦!!
Hmmm..... yum! 哥哥~你吃相也好看一點嘛!!
Now we've finally entered the tea garden. 著名的茶園區
Boys staring at the coins in the stream. Eason asked,' Can I take them?' They
were calculating how much were in there....
喔喔! 糟糕! 我那兒子一看到許願池，一定會忍不住問:為何大家都要丟錢? 這
裡總共會有多少錢呀??
This is a fantastically steep bridge. It's almost like climbing a ladder.
這座拱橋也太"拱"了吧! 下來時應該會有些危險吧?!
Japanese pagoda.
Once we came out of the garden, the boys were play-fighting over who can get
on the rock. Eason had the advantage...
兩個男孩在草地上看見了一塊大石頭，兩個人都想要站在上面.....
Yes, Ethan is up too. Watch your balance! 終於兩個一起站上去了!!
Oops, Eason losing balance there.... 哇! 哥哥開始重心不穩.....
Both off now....giggling and laughing. How fun was that!
掉下來了! 兩個人一直狂笑!!
第三站~St. Aidan's Episcopal Church
the CAIS talant show at 3pm at a nearby church. 今天buddy有個音樂表演會
哥哥....等等不要聽到睡著，不可以打呼喔!!
buddy真的是才子耶~~
buddy的哥哥也有鋼琴表演
第四站~籃球場
After the performance, they came back for a quick game of basketball in our
neighbourhood park. 音樂會結束之後，孩子們在社區內打藍球......厚，
哥哥，若打得不好，不要說你是"藍球隊"的喔!
home媽利用孩子們一起玩的時間，回家準備晚餐的食材。看到下列五樣東西，
猜猜看? 今天晚上吃什麼呢?
While I'm back home getting ready for our takoyaki party. Takoyaki is a Japan-
ese snack food made from grilling batter into balls with a piece of octopus inside.
哇! home媽還真有才呢! 連章魚燒她也弄得出來....這設備，我也想來一個!
You first pour the batter into the molds and then you add the fillings. After that
you need to start turning them over to give them the round shape.
步驟來囉~先將麵粉加入模型中→放料→開始轉呀翻呀→弄出一個圓形
Rebecca helped the kids 'flip' their takoyaki in this picture.
今天還有其他親戚也到家中作客。
Ethan Chin and Ann being very serious turning their takoyaki.
安安今天也到家中玩。
大家都耐不住性子，好想吃喔!!
This is what takoyaki looks like when it's done. Served with Japanese sauce
and mayo and sprinkers of seaweed.
看到了嗎? home媽將弄好的章魚燒稍為加工，加上日式醬汁、麻油及紫
菜粉，就像外面賣的一樣的囉~~
Eason and his takoyaki. Doesn't it look great.
這是哥哥做出來的章魚燒，還挺像樣的啦!!
哥哥，你在美國的同時，妹妹正在桌球比賽呢! 因為這一次的組別是"國小組"，
進級後將會和"五六年級的"大姐姐對打。李老師說:不要怕輸!用力打就對了!
妹妹真的很認真的打每一顆球喔!!
