我们去卡梅尔小镇看豪宅 虎年第一天,吉姆牵头组织俺们去跑了蒙特利(Monterey)的17英里风景线。机缘巧合,半途巧遇James大哥。大家一起跑了20迈后,一同前往他在卡梅尔(Carmel-by-the-Sea)的庄园一游。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_4980.jpg) 起点。太阳尚未升起,大家已经跑在了路上。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_4990.jpg) 一只贼大胆的海鸥。俺的镜头都快要戳到它的肚皮,才极不甘愿地飞走。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5014.jpg) 海港的早晨。那些船都是私人游艇。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5019.jpg) 路旁拍照的师太。据说因为她对于徒弟要求甚严,人称灭绝师太。^_^
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5053.jpg)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5066.jpg)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5073.jpg) 此处唤作“情人角”。 最近,师太拜师奥运冠军邢慧娜,苦练跑姿。果然见效,时下的跑姿极为流畅。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5082.jpg) 今天跑海景的队伍颇庞大,还有一位骑车的小哥全程追随。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5091.jpg) 拍了一幅逆光海景。手机不甚给力,凑合看吧。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5100.jpg) 近年,蒙特利县修造一些新的步道,点攒一下。不像俺们圣塔克拉拉县,猪头政府,收了那么多物业税,也不知道把钱花到哪儿去了?公园步道都是破破烂烂。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5106.jpg) 俺兄弟是本地的坐地户,任教于海军研究生院。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5115.jpg) 奔向西班牙海滩。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5129.jpg) 奴家要飞呀飞。。。^_^
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5130.jpg) Asilomar Hotel & Conference Grounds度假村。猜一猜,一晚多少钱?不到$150!
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5133.jpg) 大家伙很傻X地蹦了一个2022。前年今日此地,也是一伙人蹦了一个2020,结果就把新冠给招来了!^_^ -
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5139.jpg) “中国人乔之角”附近的高尔夫球道。曾经在网上搜过一次,此地打一场球的费用是$500~800。对于中产阶层,还是蛮贵,尤其是与滑雪($150~200)相比。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5145.jpg) 10AM,抵达最远端的“鸟岩”。再往南,就没有步道了。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5156.jpg) 扯呼,往回跑。 吉姆,是BURN的老人,当年本人加入BURN跑社的时候,大概三十几号人马,吉姆就是其中元老。 星移斗转岁月悠悠,十年今日,当年那些老人还在奔跑的人寥寥无几,两个巴掌就能数清。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5160.jpg) 又见情人角。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5168.jpg) 兀那跑步的疯子们,奔向了情人角的海岸古柏。。。
中国新年,俺们组织了一只小部队,从卡梅尔跑向蒙特利
话说2022年元旦当日,在17英里风景线跑了一趟20.22英里纪念新年跑,中途巧遇James大哥。闲谈中,知道他在周末一般会来卡梅尔小住。于是中国新年的大年初一,组织小规模的17英里风景线酷跑活动之际,力邀了大地主James大哥参与行动,兼做导游。^_^
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_6360.JPG) 俺们南湾一行人分驾两部车,在今日旅程的终点会合,共乘一部车抵达起点卡梅尔教堂博物馆(Carmel Mission Basilica Museum),与James大哥会合。(摄影:James)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/CarmelMission.jpg) 卡梅尔教堂是西班牙人从南加州向北加州挺进过程中,在此地修筑的第一个传教与军事要塞。以此为基地,北上湾区,最终完成对于整个大旧金山地区的占领与殖民。当时生活在湾区的印第安人,人数极少,星星点点地分布在流入海湾的小溪旁,对于新来者,毫无抵抗能力。我猜想,可能更多的是好奇,因为平时很难见到如此众多的同类。因此,如今湾区的地名,基本上都是西班牙语,只有寥寥无几的几个印第安土著地名流传到了现在,如碉堡山的名字是“Mt Umunhum”--蜂鸟山,Umunhum就是印第安人模仿蜂鸟飞行时的嗡嗡声音。(谷歌三维图)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/Carmel.jpg) 卡梅尔是美国著名小镇,有钱人扎堆的地方。后来的有钱人不想混迹于市井,于是在其北侧的山上建筑豪宅,这就是著名的“17英里风景线”的由来。(谷歌三维图)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6061.jpg)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6066.jpg)

![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6080.jpg) 卡梅尔小镇的豪宅群落。。。大家伙看的口水直流。唯二的例外是James大哥和甄妮妹子,他们都已经退休,而且坐拥豪宅。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6084.jpg) 甄妮妹子介绍说,那一片橙黄色的网状结构,是该城的城规所要求的:任何房屋增建与改建,必须按照建筑尺寸与规模,在其位置搭设这一模型。如果达到一定比例的邻里不喜欢你家的设计,那么你家的改建就不会被市政府批准,要么你拉倒,要么你改设计。这一法规的目的是,保持小镇的历史风貌。游客们前来游玩,当然是奔着小镇的古典风味,一定不是为了前来膜拜现代豪宅。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6086.jpg) 这一家宅院的第一位主人,也许是日本人。这条大街--17英里风景线上每一幢宅院,除了门牌号码,还有一个独特的名字。时下这幢宅子的市价近5千万美元。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/3382.jpg) 房子的外观,非常普通,市价却如此昂贵。怪不得房地产经纪一直碎碎念:Location,Location,Location!土地的价值,远在房屋本身的造价之上。(图片来自Zilow网)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6104.jpg) 全球最牛逼的高尔夫球场之一--Pebble Beach。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6112.jpg)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6113.jpg) 著名的蒙特利孤柏(Lone Cypress)。17英里风景线地标。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6120.jpg) 沿着17英里风景线,面海一侧与临山一侧的房价,要相差一半以上。这幢宅子的市价近一千万美元,6卧9浴,900平米。270度景观,可以欣赏到群山日出与大海日落。缺点是大部分的宅院地形过于陡峭,房子本身建在一大片巨石上,也许存在安全隐患。。。这些都是从James大哥的导游词中抄来的,别问我为啥他知道的如此详细!哈哈~
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6136.jpg) 看了豪宅,俺们接着跑海景!
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6150.jpg) 接着看海景!
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6158.jpg) 小富婆甄妮妹子跑不动了!
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_6359.JPG) 乘机偷懒建议大家停下来,与“虎”字合影,于是乖乖顺从。(摄影:甄妮妹子)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6190.jpg)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6196.jpg) 海滨栈道。 有人说,退休后要搬到拉斯维加斯居住,因为可以很方便地飞往世界各地去旅游,房价又低。。。其实,搬来蒙特利居住也很棒,气候温和,环境优雅,只要不追求海景,与南湾相比,房价也没有高到哪里去。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6207.jpg) Huijiang妹子陪俺跑过200英里的越野赛。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6224.jpg) 有人在绘画。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/IMG_6364.JPG) 绘画细节。(摄影:甄妮妹子)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6229.jpg) 左侧的豪宅面积500平米,5卧6浴,市值$500万。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6245.jpg)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6251.jpg) 大家伙卖力地跑向终点--第一辆车的停靠地点。因为俺们在路上捡到一个钱包,里面有两张外州的驾照。刚才他们打电话过来,下午还要凭此坐飞机回家,俺们不想耽误人家太多的时间。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6270.jpg) 礁石上的海鸥,如同一个遗世独立的高人。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6273.jpg)
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6273_(2).jpg) 斯坦福大学的海洋研究实验中心(Hopkins Marine Station)。当初买下这一片海滩,是不是就是因为相中了这片海豹栖息地?
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6282.jpg) 2019年增添的壁画。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6286.jpg) 跑到了蒙特利港口区。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6290.jpg) 湛蓝的海水。很难想象,此地毗邻旅游中心区域,生态环境却保持的相当完好。要知道,前面那些栈桥上,还是有很多游客光临。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6295.jpg) 美国加州最早的海关。准确地说,是墨西哥国加省最早的海关。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6299.jpg) 墨西哥在独立后不久,蒙特利就成为墨西哥国“加利福尼亚省”的一个重要海关。1847年的美墨战争后,下加利福尼亚省,归属墨西哥;上加利福尼亚独立,3年后正式加入美国联邦,这就是今天的加利福尼亚州。 科普一个概念,在航空业来临之前,海关基本上都在港口,因为外国人都是坐船踏上贵国的领土。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6297.jpg) 200年前的货物,就是如此粗犷的包装。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6302.jpg) 来自远东日本的瓷器。 最后,我们去看了豪宅,不是在外面看!
James大哥新进入手了一个庄园,目前还处于内部整理阶段。周末的时候,可能会过来瞧一瞧。有三个日式风格的建筑群落,分为主建筑、附属建筑和第三建筑。另外,还有工具房、马圈、草料库和一个跑马场。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5181.jpg) 这是主建的东侧。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5182.jpg) 这是主建的西侧。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5183.jpg) 主建南侧的小湖。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5199.jpg) 主建与副建之间的游泳池。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6357.jpg) 主建北侧的日式风格庭院。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5204.jpg) 第三建筑。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6347.jpg) 第三建筑的另外一个视角。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5225.jpg) 自成一格的第三建筑。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5208.jpg) 第三建筑的楼上卧室。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5210.jpg) 跑马场。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_5217.jpg) 植物园中的猕猴桃。
![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/dd243/atangwriting/converted-IMG_6334.jpg) 邻居家的草坪。那其实是高尔夫球场的设施,有时候出租用于婚礼等大型活动。
