這天天氣晴，帶著好心情驅車前往高雄，想探一探愛河之夜及美食之都~由北二高在196km接到彰化連絡道一路上時速約110km上下，車流量尚可，一路順暢，中間只停了西湖及新營休息站，約莫3.5小時就抵達高雄。

因時值正午時分，就來祭一下五藏廟吧！找到了這家泰式餐廳（Hai-Thai）門面非常特殊，有一隻蓮花指的手裝飾手把，進入店內，映入眼簾是溫暖的黃色燈光，有些昏暗卻表現出純泰式的風格，神秘又帶些藍調的韻味。場地寛敞，二樓也有不同的佈置風格。

特別推薦金錢蝦餅、椒麻鷄、打抛肉、綠椰汁牛肉、酸辣湯、清蒸檸檬魚...，因為太餓了，忘了先存證就見底了~"哈"。

接著到了十全路及中華路口的『二手巿場』逛逛，看到人山人海，地攤上的拍賣物，什麼都有，什麼都不奇怪，連八股的手音機，喝完的大酒甕，都有人擺。只見人群蹲在地上，琢磨喊價。這時，瞧見一群上了年紀的大叔，吹著樂器，自得其樂，一首接一首的懷念金曲，讓人意猶未盡。

夜暮低垂，依然不改港都的繁華景色，延著高雄捷運站一路來到愛河，這裡搭了一座座可步行的橋，七彩霓虹燈點綴穚邊，如彩虹般炫耀燦爛。周邊也貼心的設置了自行車步道，讓車友安心地環視愛河的美景。在這裡又發現了一位可愛的大叔，他將愛車精心打造一翻，有會噴火的車頭，用LED燈裝飾的車身，還當場表演了利用車子點燃沖天炮，真是『炫』呀！

來高雄一定要逛人潮擁擠的『瑞豐夜巿』，吃的、喝的、穿的、用的、玩的應有盡有，推薦印度拉茶、魯味...太多了，嗯，還有時間，那再到『自強夜巿』走走，那裡的很多美食都值得推薦，如阿蓮越式河粉、白糖粿、石頭玉米、南豐魯肉飯、三鮮蒸餃...，唉！真希望我有二個胃可以裝。~待續

-席琳狄翁-

You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth
and still All you'll own is Earth
until You can paint with all the colors of the wind
