回家（加）小记 - 5. 圭尔夫（Guelph) 大学随拍

圭尔夫（也有人把她译为桂湖或贵妇）是位于加拿大多伦多西边100公里的一座小城。更确切滴说是一座以圭尔夫大学为中心的大学城，现有人口13万。以下这段文字摘自Online Wikipedia：

‘Guelph is a city in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Known as "The Royal City"。 Guelph is roughly 28 kilometres (17 mi) east of Waterloo and 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of downtown Toronto at the intersection of Highway 6 and Highway 7. It is the seat of Wellington County, but is politically independent of it. Because of its low crime rates, clean environment and generally high standard of living, Guelph is consistently rated as one of the country's best places to live. Guelph has been noted as having one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country throughout the 2008–2012 global recession, and has ranked at the bottom of Canada's crime severity list for the past five years. The name Guelph comes from the Italian Guelfo and the Bavarian-Germanic Welf. It is a reference to the reigning British monarch at the time Guelph was founded, King George IV, whose family was from the House of Hanover, a younger branch of the House of Welf.’

圭尔夫是一座精致美丽的小城，可惜这次来去匆匆加上每天皆雨，所以只是在大学边，大雨前咔嚓了几张。
