丹佛记
作为美国中西部最大的城市之一,丹佛这个城市给我的印象与整个中西部给我的感觉一样:幅员辽阔,寸草不生,千篇一律的town center、商业区和公路。自芝加哥往西,开了几千公里见到的基本就是这幅德行,与东西海岸的风情万种大相径庭。可是人算不如天算,公司的技术中心就在丹佛,所以我与同事只能义无反顾地踏上东行之路。 丹佛的天气有两种:晴天或者下雪。由于极端远离海岸,又背临北美最大的落基山脉,丹佛的天气如同弹簧一样,不断在极冷和极热之间蹦跶,而且基本实现无缝链接。我们去的时候已经是四月下旬,西雅图的樱花都快要凋谢了;可是丹佛在我们去的第二天开始大雪纷飞。前一天还是春光明媚的十来度,第二天早上,我和同事只能百无聊赖地坐在车里,打火,暖车,等着车外一英寸厚的冰一点一点地融化,这个过程用去我们半小时,而此时的气温是零下九度。 除了极热和极冷,丹佛的天气还有一个特点,就是极干。从多雨之都飞来的我一到机场变发现口干舌燥,到了酒店发现连双眼都干燥无比。平时用量的面霜和饮料根本不够用,晚上我恨不得起来溺死在浴缸里。从丹佛回来我发现双手布满无比细小的伤口,都是干裂之后没有用足够的护手霜造成的。 与西雅图downtown的繁华不同,丹佛公司的所在是一个扔在美国任何地方都不会有区别的工业园区。一周的时间,从窗口望出去,都看不到任何绿色,简直是满目荒凉。回到西雅图,一出机场看到外面淅淅沥沥的小雨和满目的绿色,我简直像濒死的鱼跳进了水里。 然而丹佛也并不是一无四处。许多人留在丹佛,是因为它广袤的群山。从Hyatt十八楼的Bar看出去,整个落基山脉横亘在丹佛的西部,如群龙起伏,覆盖着白雪皑皑。飞机起飞的十分钟内,美景尽收眼底,代价是随后两个小时舷窗外一无所有、连公路都看不到的北美大陆。
