A hot wonderful day

Steve没有兄弟,所以他把好朋友Curtis當成哥哥。他们都是在相同的公司工作但不同部門,而經常约出來見面用餐。多年前他們常去某餐廳用餐,認識在那餐廳内很愛講話的招待員Wendy,她當时還是一名學生。Wendy畢業后,她偶爾也會参與SteveCurtis用餐。

星期天早上十点,這一次是我們四個人見面用餐… Curtis雖然有魁武的肌肉,但說話蠻温和的。Wendy果然很健談非常愉快的一餐。

餐后,Steve帶我到靠近餐廳不遠的Forest ParkForest Park的範圍非常非常大,我們只去了Jewel BoxArt MuseumJewel Box內並没有金銀珠寶只有花草樹葉。它附近有Colonial Daughter Fountain, St. Francis of Assisi statue, Korean War MemorialVandeventer Place gate 來到一個滿是荷葉的小湖,我發現湖邊有一棵很特别的樹。躺着乘凉,聽着鳥叫聲,微風吹着多么舒服、愜意

來到Art Museum外邊很热,我們趕快進去吧!除了美国的史物,也有其它国家的一些史物 嗯!我好像在那里看過這幅晝。很洋化的印度佛像 近日Art Museum剛好展覽法國拿破倫的歷史物件 在這大間的博物館内走得很累!

Art Museum的对面,可看到Grand Basin

Steve doesn’t have any brothers, but his good friend, Curtis became like one. They work at the same company but in different departments, and they always go out to meet for lunches. Many years ago, they often went to a restaurant where they met Wendy, a waitress at that time. She was a student and she liked to talk with customers. After she graduated, she sometimes joined Steve and Curtis for meals too.

10am Sunday, this time four of us met for brunch… Although Curtis is a big muscular guy, he speaks gently. Wendy is very outgoing… We had a very wonderful meal.

After the meal, Steve and I went to Forest Park, not far from the restaurant. Forest Park is very large; we just went to the Jewel Box and Art Museum. Inside the Jewel Box there weren’t any jewels…but it is full of plants. Nearby, are the Colonial Daughter Fountain, St. Francis of Assisi statue, Korean War Memorial and the Vandeventer Place gate… We came to a small lake covered with lotus leaves. I found a strange tree beside the lake. You can lie on the tree in the shade, listening to birds and enjoying the cool breeze… it is so nice and wonderful…

Here we are at the Art Museum, it’s too hot out here, let us go in! Besides American art, they also have some art from other countries… Umm! I think I saw this painting somewhere before. This is a western style Buddha statue from India… Now, the Art Museum is having an exhibition about Napoleon, called Symbols of Power … Ahh…so tired after walking inside this large museum!

The Grand Basin is the lake opposite the Art Museum…
