Vi valgte at fejre fjerde juli
så langt væk fra de uhyrlige menneskemasser som muligt,
og camperede ved en lillebitte park i Alpine, hvor vi havde en
hyggelig picnic.
Parken havde ikke meget andet
end nogle borde og bænke, og ikke noget navn vi kunne finde.
Området, hvor parken
ligger, var i sin tid del af en olivenplantage, ejet af Lewis Mix, en
landmand fra Pennsylvania, der boede her med sin datter Charlotte til
mellem 1910 og 1920. Senere, vistnok i 1940'erne, købte Carl
McCall stedet, og havde en kostskole for drenge her. |
We decided to celebrate the 4th
of July as far away from the horrible crowds as possible, and camped
at a little bitty park in Alpine, where we hung out and had a nice picnic.
The park had little more than
picnic tables, and no name that we could find.
The corner, where the park is
located, was once part of an olive grove owned by Lewis Mix, a
Pennsylvania farmer, who lived here with his daughter Charlotte until
between 1910 and 1920.
Later, probably somewhere around
the 1940s, Carl McCall bought the place and ran a boarding school for
boys here. |
