舊金山 最歐風的美國城市continue

接續＜舊金山 最歐風的美國城市＞上篇，這兒從漁人碼頭說起......

也不知是不是中午的西貢三明治對楊來說真的太小了？三點半他便說有點餓！好在漁港附近別的不多就是餐廳不少。在前往Ghirarrdelli Square的路上就會經過有名的普丁酸麵包巧達湯的專賣店Boudin Sourdough。

午後的舊金山有點起風，我們喝著熱熱的巧達湯暖暖胃感覺真不錯！不過後來我們走出普丁酸麵包店之後發現外頭還一排海鮮餐廳也買著類似的酸麵包巧達湯，不但湯更滿且價錢還更便宜些，頓時有點失望，覺得好像該貨比三家的。不過想想或許那一兩塊的差價就是有沒有座位的差異吧，且已經填飽的肚子也沒有欲望在去嚐嚐別家的口為如何瞜！

海岸線旁的路上十分觀光， 或許因為實在感覺實在很觀光，因此雖然說一點也不像淡水卻給我這樣的感覺。在抵達Ghirarrdelli 巧克力廣場前經過Powell&Hyde線的噹噹車在海邊的終點站。儘管楊說看噹噹車在旋轉盤上調頭沒什麼好看的，他還是依著我，讓我在哪兒等著看Cable Car轉圈。

Explore. Dream. Discover.

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So threw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  --Mark Twain

This morning, I came across a blog post from a friend I met 5 to 6 years ago. Despite the limited interaction we had when we were still living in the same city, we share a common interest in travel. I remember vividly his popularity that night, when he told all those amazing stories about all the fun things he encountered during his travel. By then, I had stayed in Netherlands for a year already as an exchange student, but had too little traveling experience as compared to others who also have been in Europe for a year. To me, they travel like crazy, seizing every single long weekend (weekend with either Friday and/or Monday as public holiday) and sometimes even skipped a few lectures to fly with cheap airline during their promotion dates. I was too much of a good student, and had only been to Germany and Czech on Christmas and Easter holiday in the first year.

［吃］大黑家

半日在Los Angeles downtown的隨意走走逛逛，我們來到Japanese town吃拉麵。一如很多國際大城市，LA的美食選擇似乎評價非常不錯，前提是：你要願意開車！

今天地陪小孔所選的餐廳是聽說頗為有名的--大黑家. 由於我們抵達的時間稍稍早, 又是平日, 小等一會兒就有坐位了, 聽說平常可是大排長龍呢 (確實在我們尚未入坐前外頭等待的就多起來了).

入坐後我們快速的點餐, 選擇招牌的豚骨拉麵, 說來我平時在台灣因為沒有特愛吃拉麵因此也不常吃, 因此不知道這家的名氣. 上桌後熱騰騰的拉麵配上青蔥, 湯頭的香氣十足. 喝了第一口我就喜歡了. 這樣的吃法大約很外行, 一般好像說吃拉麵是不喝湯的, 不過我就愛喝湯, 直接喝雖然稍鹹, 但是搭著麵條小啜一些濃郁的美味真是不錯!

從這次後我就對拉麵有不錯的好感了. 往後還想多嚐嚐LA這兒的美食, 特別是拉麵!
