回家

in #cn5 years ago

感恩节期间,陪伴父母回来新泽西看望亲属。零七年第一次从前线回来就再也没有回到Garden State。

退伍后就留在了科罗拉多,被这里的雪山,环境吸引。当然最重要的一点是买了房子,又赶上零八年房地产泡沫危机,不想低价卖出去。在这段时间,也把父母从纽约的工作岗位接到了这边享受退休后的田园生活。

Colorado Springs的飞机场非常小,大部分的地盘是由空军在撑场面。不过去年返修过以后,我更觉得这里比丹佛更加舒服一些。顺便说一下,这里有美国的奥林匹克中心,大部分参加奥林匹克的运动员都要在这里训练。这座城市也毫不隐讳的昭告天下。

科罗拉多是滑雪胜地。有些地方一年当中只有一个月不见这种景色。

说实话,这么多年,回大陆的次数要比新泽西多得多。久违的纽瓦克机场居然出现了简体中文的招牌?是比我们那穷乡僻壤国际化一些。当然作为北方人也不会到外面去吃饺子。。。

与亲戚相聚之后的第二天。从住在南边的亲戚家向北开车去见原来的朋友。当年住在新泽西的时候,所有的工作,生后都没离开纽约。也就不需要开车。这回还真算是我为数不多的几次在这边开车。跟着导航仪在各个小村庄之间穿梭。
不一会儿的功夫,GPS上面叫我拐到Main Street上。我心中一乐,新泽西哪个镇子都有一个Main Street和镇子名字的Avenue,十字交叉成为这个镇子的主要街道。我当时的家就在Main Street上就是因为综合超市都会建在这里。果不其然,刚转上Main Street上便看到了一家ShopRite。在科罗拉多去惯了Costco,Sprouts,和Walmart,看到这边都有的超市都能引起我的回忆。
Wait,怎么这里看着这么眼熟?坐在副驾驶的老妈,也觉得来过这里。WTH!突然间发现,这不就是我当年住的地方吗?万没想到,误打误撞,居然回到了“老家”?Mill burn,这个我上高中的地方,我又回来了?!原来的学校,打工的地方,一个个引入眼帘。多少的初到异国他乡的心酸苦辣全部涌了出来。

老妈瞬间哽咽了。唉,老年人总是爱怀旧。不过以我现在的心情,是不是我也老了?
刹那间,所有印象中的街道,建筑彷佛都回到了眼前,一点没变,唉!这趟真的没白回来!
