HARVARD UNIVERSITY’S CAMPUS

(I went to explore the area alone, you can’t see me in these pics since I shot them^_^).

John Harvard’s statue:

“…[The university] was named for its first benefactor, John Harvard of Charlestown, a young minister who, upon his death in 1638, left his library and half his estate to the new institution…” (http://www.news.harvard.edu/guide/intro/index.html)

MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (MIT) CAMPUS

This is the only one building that I like at MIT. It looks like a model by its strange design ^_^.

Took advantage of the reflectable wall surface (on the right of the above pic) ^_^

Lovely little trees:

Oh no, it’s gonna rain:

Last shot before heading home

Niagara Falls (New York, Fall 2006)

The bridge (Rainbow Bridge) far back of the photo connects US (right side) where the falls locate, and Canada (left):

Canada’s side:

We’d like to be on the boat

Here we go: The ship went really near to the falls, so we had to cover carefully ^_^. It’s wonderful, the falls were right in front of my face.

Ah, a pic with the rainbow

The wind killed me: it caused the water from the falls to pour over me … haha… a suddenly heavy rain.

The falls were brightened by colourful lights at night.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial (South Dakota)

aha, my sister took this pic in the museum, interesting! ^_^

Nhìn tấm hình này buồn cười ghê, chị N chộp được trong bào tàng đó ^_^.

Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming)

Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming)

Buffalo Bill Dam

Grand Canyon

The way to Yellowstone is amazing!!!

Không cần phải đợi đến nơi mới có cảnh đẹp, mà ngay trên đường đi cũng có rất nhiều cảnh đẹp để ngắm nữa.

pics: Huyen

Wow, the surface looks like a big mirror. There are several beautiful lakes that we couldn’t stand stopping by (pics: Minh Ngoc)

Wow, mặt hồ nước lặng như gương. Hồ nào cũng tuyệt đẹp làm cho không dừng cũng không đươc.

We also had to stop because of the traffic jam made by the bisons.

Thỉnh thoảng mấy con bò rừng (bison) lại băng qua đường làm kẹt xe, hừm, không biết luật giao thông gì hết á, haha.

Midway Geiser Basin

Look at my hair, haha. I hated the wind since it made my hair looked bad. Morever, the smell of the geisers was not pleasant, not at all , and what the wind did was making it closer to my nose . Anyway, I still kept smiling . Am I nice?

Nhìn tóc N kìa. Ghét gió dễ sợ, thổi phù phù làm tóc bay tứ tung, may mà tóc thiệt chứ tóc giả là nguy rồi. Khổ hơn là nước trong mấy cái hồ này thì trong veo, mà sao mùi thì khó ngửi thế, gió mà thổi ngay mặt thì chỉ có co giò chạy, haha. Tấm này mùi hương “thơm” không bay vào mũi N nên mới mỉm cười được vậy đó.

The water of these geisers are so pure that we can see the very bottom of them.

Nhìn nước kìa, thấy đáy luôn.

West Thumb Geyser Basin

Old Faithful (pic: Minh Ngoc)

You can see my face turned black after just a few days. It was very sunny in daylight and very cold at night.

Pheww, this was the rough mountain road that I ever hiked (quite dangerous). We hikes about 5 km away from the parking lot, and then we had to get back (totally 10 km hike on slippery road with rocks and snowup and down, tired but excited, kind of adventure^_^)
