Big Bend National Park

(上图)所谓伊人 在水一方(文艺下)Santa Elena Canyon – incredibly view and strolling along Rio Grande (Great River) which is essentially a border line. Just imagine I am in the US land overlooking Mexico; all of sudden you feel, yes there is a border, but no boundary.

我们都知道,大大的德州 Texas 是美国第二大州,屈居阿拉斯加之后。讽刺的是,它只有两个国家公园,而阿拉斯加有八个国家公园。

德州其中一个国家公园,Big Bend,坐落在遥远西部世界的一个角落,Chihuahuan 沙漠的边缘。它孤立,它险恶,它离咱们家 10个小时;我们风尘仆仆的往西行驶,眼前是永无止境的荒芜与尘土。而美国几百年前的往西部边疆推进与拓荒的血泪史,大概就是这样开展滴。。。

Big Bend 的面积大约相等于 5 个新加坡岛国的面积。

除了面积大,Big Bend 最特别的是它里边的一条大河,Rio Grande。(西班牙语:Rio 是河,Grande是大)Rio Grande 就像一道自然的分界线,两岸,是两个不同的国家。

对了,就是这条大河,把人与家庭分隔,把命运玩弄。就是这条大河, Mr T 说要建一座墙(虽然我不知道他如何建)。也是这条大河,挑起了人类与环境,与命运搏斗的精神。。。

其实这条大河,一点都不大;但它使 Big Bend 超越了我们的预期。

Three days in Big Bend National Park is simply too short. It is a large park, equated to five times of the size of Singapore – and the number of visitors are much less relatively compared to other parks. This makes the park and ideal place to be way from people in this trying time!

河对岸就是墨西哥。因为 Rio Grande这条河,Big Bend 被赋予不同的意义。
