Duluth Trip Day One

Duluth is located at northern part of Minnesota, around 150 miles away from the Twin Cities. It is a industry spot by the Lake Superior. We spent one day in Duluth and drived to the North Shore Area on the following two days.

趁著暑假工作之前的長週末，和Jan一行三人往北到著名的避暑勝地兼大港口-Duluth.據說所有明尼蘇達人沒事的時候都會往北跑，沿著35號高速公路就可以到達。一路上看到一堆人開著卡車後面拖著船或是ATV甚至是房子的。這邊的休閒活動其實很簡單很悠閒，開著船在湖上漂一整天釣魚，或是開著越野車在林間跑來跑去，沿著步道健行散步或慢跑。假期過後再回到工作上。
早上快十點出發，十二點多到。先去了遊客中心拿了資料後，就往湖邊的Canal Park前進。這邊有個大小船隻的進出口，看著大船入港是建議的必看行程之一。由此可知這邊的娛樂活動有多缺乏，或是有多悠閒了！

Boat entry. Watching big boat entering the port. 大船入港。


The bridge was rised so that the boat can enter. 我們中午看到這艘船進港，結果晚上十點多的時候，竟然相當有緣地看到他滿載的要回加拿大了。


港口就少不了有海鷗啦。

After having lunch and walking around the Canal Park, we decided to go to the Skyline Parkway
to enjoy the view and find some trails.
這條路是沿著湖邊的山坡，所以我們可以一覽世界最大淡水湖的景色。好像季節對的時候，這邊還會有賞鷹的活動。


Skyline Parkway. Some people just park their cars besides the road and jog along this beautiful road.


Skyline Parkway. Nice view of Lake Superior.


We walked into a trail and I found a road to the river. But I fell into a river when I tried to touch the water.

Around 5 pm, we headed to our hotel in WI. Duluth and Superior are joint cities. However, everything looked different in WI. We rested for a while, then went to Enger Park to have our last view.

At the top of Enger Tower, so chilly in the evening.

In the Japanese garden of the Enger Park. 因為掉到河裡，又只有帶一件長褲，只好以短褲入鏡。傍晚真的是很冷啊！
