1 . Four Best Natural Parks in America

Everglades National Park, Florida

Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical (亚热带) wilderness reserve in America. This amazing destination is a 1.5-million-acre ocean of grass which flows gradually from central Florida all the way south to the sea. This makes it -an important habitat for numerous rare and endangered species like manatee, American crocodile, and Florida jaguar.

Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

Grand Canyon National Park is home to one of the largest canyons in the world. If you visit between mid-May and mid-October, you can see the Canyon from the North Rim. About 90% of all visitors see it from the “South Rim”, because it is open all year and has easy-to-get-to overlooks.

Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky

The caves house 200 animals, most of them being invertebrate (无脊椎) species. 42 of these species live in total darkness. These caves are incredible enough to be featured in Planet Earth——a must-see BBC documentary series.

Olympic National Park, Washington

Olympic National Park has a little bit of everything rugged Pacific coastline, high mountain peaks, broad sandy beaches, clear lakes, rain forests. With such a wide variety of ecosystems, Olympic is one of the most diverse wilderness areas in the United States. The park is an important habitat for species like wild salmon (鲑鱼), northern spotted owls.

Olympic National Park is very large and there are no roads that cross the park. If you visit in April or May, you may see gray whales pass by on their way to Alaska.

2 . A Day with a Dickens Descendant (后裔)

The Charles Dickens Museum is very happy to welcome Lucinda Dickens Hawksley for a full day of adventure this weekend. The three times great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens, Lucinda is returning to her family’s historic London home to share some exciting projects with you.

9:00 am — Our Dickens Day begins with a virtual talk presented by Lucinda in celebration of Christmas in July. This festive event is for people down under celebrating Christmas in midwinter, and is timed so that friends in Australia and New Zealand can join. Streamed online, this is a wonderful way to get into the festive spirit. For those in the Northern Hemisphere (北半球), or for people who just don’t fancy celebrating Christmas in July, this is still a wonderful way of understanding how Dickens came to write one of his most famous books, A Christmas Carol.

2:00 pm — Lucinda will be on-site, here at the museum, to deliver a short talk on her brand new book, Dickens and Travel. This remarkable book takes a look at how Dickens enthusiasm for adventure and travel helped influence his famous stories.

2:30 pm-3:30 pm — If you’ve ever wanted to meet a Dickens descendant, now is your chance. Lucinda will be in the Boardroom to sign copies of her new book and greet visitors.

4:00 pm — Lucinda will finish her day at the museum with another short talk on her new book.

Copies of Dickens and Travel, as well as other books by Lucinda, will be available for purchase from our museum shop, or you can pre-order through our online shop. We hope to see you virtually, or in person, this weekend!
