    Wilmington

     来WILMINGTON的主要目的,自然是为了DUPONT. 父亲跟DUPONT合作了那么多年,也没有来过.
     
    一大早,DAVID就来接我们去DUPONT的MUSEUM,他也是DUPONT US员工之一,为人很好.
     
    去MUSEUM的路上有经过DUPONT的研发中心,事实上在整个一天的行程中,我感觉200年历史的DUPONT跟整个WILMINGTON已经紧紧联系在一起,你可以在任何一个不经意间,发现DUPONT的踪迹.
     
    DUPONT的MUSEUM给人的印象自然是震撼的,当一个公司能把她的历史以博物馆的形式展现在你面前的时候,我想很少会有人不动容的.
     
    MUSEUM是DUPONT开始的地方,那边是以前DUPONT家族居住的地方.
     
    有200年的树,有葡萄树,还有苹果树,这两个树名字并不希奇,大家也常在吃.
     
    关键是树长得希奇.葡萄树上挂肥皂,苹果树只有大概30厘米高,很粗壮的树枝向两边长开.让人感觉像是科幻小说里的东西.
     
    在他们老祖宗住的房子里的壁炉上,我找到了八仙过海的彩陶,想来这个已经是很值钱了吧,哈哈,很想A过来啊....
     
    在楼上还找到了紫檀的大桌,绘有龙的织物,瓷器,都是那时候DUPONT家族的人送中国带来的.
     
    特别是两把戒尺,介绍的阿姨告诉我们不知道那是作什么用的,我们就告诉她是打人用地,哈哈,她说这个她可不敢跟以后来参观的人讲.
     
    因为以前是做黑火药的缘故,这个园子里在200年间发生过数万起爆炸.
     
    让我震撼的是整个工厂作坊,机器都是以前留下的,纯手工制作,动力用的是旁边河里的水力和蒸汽动力.
     
    在这里你可以发现,现代的机械工作原理几乎跟当时一样,无非就是精度和产量提高了而已.
     
    所有里面的解说员都是七老八十的人了,据说都是志愿者.
     
    这里不多说了,整个过程都是很IMPRESSIVE的.
     
    中午又是CHINESE的BUFFLE
     
    下午主要去的是一个温室,大花园,里面到处都是花(花房嘛),估计一年的维护费会要个几十万吧.
     
    这里不多说,可以看照片.
     
    晚上DUPONT VP请吃的螃蟹很不多,以后去一定还要吃.现在还口水ING.....
     
    休息一夜
     
    明天去华盛顿
