我們中華文化協會（GBCCA）的登山俱樂部已經有很多年了，主辦的幾個人都是我很多年的好朋友，雖然這不是全部年輕人的活動，我也曾經參加過幾次。每年他們運行的地點都是不一樣的。年前我兩個膝蓋還沒有完全修好的時候，我也跟他們到 Rockport 去玩過一次。

我雖然走不了太多路，他們去遠足的時候我就在樹底下看書看看遠地方的風景，許多老朋友一起聊天。也是人生一大快事。今年他們節目也排出來了，我大概會去參加一兩次。登在報紙上，有興趣的朋友可以來參加。可以單獨來，跟朋友一起來，或者全家大小一齊來，也是一件非常美好的事。歡迎大家參加這個週末的查爾斯河春遊，詳情見下面的通知。
Dear GBCCA Hiking Club members:
We welcome the arrival of spring however late this year by planning to have our first outing on 4/20 (Sunday). It should be an easy walk along the Charles River bank. We shall meet on 9:30 at the Boston Common Visitors Information Center on Tremont St (right by the Green Line Park St station). We then walk across the Common to Hatch Shell, stroll along Charles River Reservation and cross Harvard Bridge to MIT campus (there is this beautiful small chapel near the Student Center).
On our way back we can take Commonwealth Ave and if hungry proceed to Chinatown for lunch. The round-trip walking distance is about four miles. If tired, one can hop on Red Line T at Kendall Square returning to Boston. Metered parking is free on Sunday. Because 4/21 (Monday) is Boston Marathon Day, record runners are anticipated to arrive over the weekend. Taking public transportation is recommended.
Wish your whole family can join us.
