[US] California，La Jolla，University of California, San Diego

當初在規劃行程時，我想找些略微不一樣的景點，但仍然帶點趣味性，結果就找到了位在La Jolla的加州大學聖地牙哥分校，部落客的介紹是這兒有不少公共藝術品，有興趣的話應該是可以逛一段時間的。
When I started to arrange this trip, I just wanted to find some places that people usually not go but still can have fun. I finally found University of California, San Diego. Why? Because there are some interesting art works.

第一個點是蓋澤爾圖書館，別名幽浮，實在是很像一台外星人的太空船停泊在山丘上，即使在週末，這兒也是開放的，進去走走時，也看到了一些學生帶著筆電在念書(應該是！)，這兒的座位很棒，有一整圈靠在窗邊的自習位，這真的不知是優點還是缺點，這樣的美景，難道不會讓學生分心嗎？
The first place is Geisel Library which is also known by UFO. It's really like a UFO landing on the hill. When I get in, there are some students study there. Most people sit next to the windows. You may enjoy the landscape while feel tired. I don't know that's an advantage or a disadvantage, the landscape is so beautiful that may easily distract the students.

Google地圖領著我開車沿著Hopkins Lane來到圖書館，結果那兒算是山丘的頂部，走到幽浮下方之後，還要再往下一層才能進入圖書館，所以有個大大的圖書館入口請往下的標誌，還算有趣。
Google Maps lead us to drive the top of the hill, so we have to go down stairs then we can find the entrance. I don't know if that's the only way to drive close. I found the cars were parked nearby where I park. That might be the only way there.

從介紹來看，這圖書館是建好後改名為蓋澤爾圖書館的，為了紀念美國一位有名的作家及漫畫家，以兒童書最出名，希奧多．蘇斯．蓋索，筆名，蘇斯博士。我想上面照片中站在他旁邊的，應該是他筆下的角色吧！
This library is named Geisel for Theodor Seuss Geisel, who was an American writer and illustrator best known for authoring popular children's books under the pen name Dr. Seuss. I believe this statue is for him and his character. 

這本書位在蛇徑的尾端，也許是他的作品。
I guess this book might be one of his famous works.

圖書館的後側，有條有名的小徑─蛇徑，沿著蛇徑往下走，可以找到上面照片的書本，還有下一個較有名氣的景點，Do Ho Suh's Fallen Star。
Behind the library, there is a famous path called Snake Path. You may pass the garden and find another interesting spot, the Do Ho Suh's Fallen Star.

這是一位韓國藝術家的作品，就位於Jacobs Hall的頂端，之前看到的資料是這兒並不是很常開放，也許由於我抵達的日子還是在星期六，就更不可能開放了，真是太可惜了。
It's designed by a Korean artist located on the top of Jacobs Hall. It's too pity that it's not opened while I arrived. I guess it's because I was there on Saturday. The building may not open on weekends.

索爾克研究所則是個來看建築的點，但是，仍然沒有開...看來，要到大學走走，尤其是想要參觀這些景點的內部的話，還是要週間來拜訪才行，週末都關門休息了。
附註：索爾克研究所的週邊都有圍牆，圍牆的門就整個不開放，連接近看看都不行。
The Salk Institute is the 2nd place that is closed. From this experience, I guess the school just close on weekends and also for the buildings or facilities. If you really want to take a look, come on weekdays.
