清晨醒來,我們才發現原來昨晚我們睡在一片高大的松林與一條美麗的清溪之間 Not until the next morning that we realized we had slept between a huge pine forest and a beautiful clear river

在我們身後的巨岩之間,就是有名的麥威瀑布 The famous McWay runs between the great rocks at the beach behind us

The famous McWay Falls which my husband had wanted to visit for many years runs between the two great rocks at the beach behind us

九月一日(昨天)傍晚出發; 兩小時之後,我們到了大南方海岸 (The Big Sur Coast)。

九 月八日是我們的 39週年結婚紀念;算來算去,惟有借用這次勞工節的假日來慶祝了。

當我們車子抵達River Inn Motel 的時候,旅店門口已掛上了客滿的牌子。 丈夫和我卻心中篤定; 其實,我們是有備而來,早就把枕頭、被褥都帶來了,打算省下這200元的旅館費用。 但是,接下來,我們必須做個決定,是立刻打道回府呢?(反正這兩個小時的海岸之行已經夠開心了) 還是今晚睡在車上? (這樣我們就可以明早走訪此地知名的麥威瀑布McWay Falls)

如果睡在車上,在這深山裏、附近並沒有休息站,車子可以停在哪兒讓我們睡覺呢?

正琢磨著,丈夫已經笑瞇瞇地從旅店辦公室走出。

「我們今晚可以睡在這個停車場!」他興奮地說。

更開心的是,這個小小的鄉村旅店竟然提供無線上網,而且停車場旁邊還設有露天座位、以及乾淨清爽的公用洗手間。

於 是,面對一片黑暗的紅木林,我們就在旅店門口、自己的車上、睡了一宿分文不用付的「蜜月小屋」。 第二天,一頓超美味早餐之後,我們歡歡喜喜地深入走訪與海岸峭壁對峙的McWay Falls,又半路上在Coast Cafe 喝杯檸檬冰茶休息休息; 此刻,我們又回到了河濱旅店門口的露天咖啡座,上網......

啊,和我丈夫在一起真好; 三十九年了,歐主啊,您的恩典太奇妙.......
