最近まったく更新していませんでしたが、ちゃんと生きてます。
チョコチョコと書きたいことはあるにもかかわらず、どうしても日記があと回しになってしまうんですね・・・。
で、4日連休の週末でしたが、またまたスポケンに行ってきちゃいました。今回はレンタカーで。
レンタカーですが、大半アメリカでは年齢制限が25歳でいつもかりれず、25歳以下の私は肩身の狭い思いをするんですが、さすがカレッジタウンのモスコウ、25歳以下でもかしてくれる車屋さんがあるんです。
今回借りたのはスバル、「レガシー」!スバルの車はエンジンがよいと聞きますが、聞いていたとおりよかったです。とってもスムーズ!!車が中に浮いているような気分になります。あとですね、レガシーですが、インテリアがちょっと豪華。普通の車の真っ黒なインテリアとちがって、ちょっとリッチな感じになっているんです。こういう時、デジカメを持っていないのが残念です(;;)
去年の12月に免許をとったにもかかわらす、ペーパードライバーの私ですが、レガシーにチョッピリほれてしまった私、今回ちょっとだけ運転しちゃいました。感想は緊張したけど、快適!!はぁ、運転の練習もっとしたいなーー(;;)
で、話はかわりますが、今回のスポケンはショッピング三昧でした(笑;)
といっても、実際にはあまり買っていないのですが、いろんなお店を見て想像力をたくさんふくらましてきました・・・。(買えないので夢を見てきただけです・・・・)
一番楽しませてくれたお店は、モールじゃないんです。なんと”ターゲット”さん!!!私、ターゲット、大好きなんです(^0^) どれくらいいたかなぁ・・(--;) かるく2時間は越してたと思います・・・
なにがいいかというとですね、かわいい!!あるものすべて、いろいろデザインされててかわいいんです。なおかつ、安い。これ、決め手ですね。はぁ、モスコウにターゲットがあったら、すこし遠くでもあるいて行っちゃうんだろうな。(笑)
ラグと長靴型のビーズクッションをご購入。二つとも20ドル以下とかなりお買い得でした!
あとは、ワールドマーケット、モール、ベトナム系のアジアンマーケットなどぷらぷらしてきました。
そして、7月4日、アメリカの独立記念日ですね!私は毎年運良く違う場所で花火をみることができているんですが、今回はスポケンの花火を見てきました。
スポケンのインディペンデンスデーのお楽しみどころは、野外コンサートじゃないかと思います。ダウタウンにある公園でいろいろな屋台?小さいお店がならんでいたりステージでコンサートしていたりで、いろいろ楽しめるようになってました。
私が見たのは、パンク系のバンドとUSエアフォースのバンド。2つともとても迫力があってたのしませてくれました。
肝心の花火は10時から。一緒にいったTくんのおねーちゃんたちと見に公園からはちょっと離れたところに移動してみたんですがどこも車でいっぱい。今回は路上駐車して車のなかから見ることになりました・・・。これが案外よかったです。ひそかに、アメリカにある車でみる映画ってこういうものなんだろうなぁーなんて思いながら花火を楽しんできました。
モスコウ、コーダレーン、シアトル、そして今回スポケンの花火を見た私ですが、コーダレーンが一番かなと思います。なぜかというと、やっぱりあの湖ですね。湖を眺めてみる花火はやっぱり見ごたえまします。
あと一緒に行ったSさんと社長はおぼえてるかわかりませんが、花火の後行ったカフェ。あれは良かったですね!バブルティーが飲めたし、カード(トランプ)とかも置いてあって交通渋滞をのがすためのいい待ち時間だったと思います。
一緒に連れて行ってくださったsさんと社長さん、ありがとうございました。
明日からはまた普段の生活に戻ります。ダラダラしないよう頑張らなきゃ!!!
