DULUTH

Last weekend, we had a trip to Duluth. It's memorable. With this trip, I have a knowledge of Duluth.
We set off by bus at 5pm on Friday afternoon. We were all excited because this is our first trip in U.S. After about one hour ride, we had a rest and had our dinner in Forest Lake, MN. There was several restaurants in the area to choose from. Finally, I and my other four friends chose KFC. KFC is very popular in China and all of us like to eat KFC. But we had not eaten one since we came to U.S. We had a happy dinner with satisfaction. Then we started off again to the destination. We live at Cloquet Forestry Center, the principal forestry field station of the University of Minnesota. It serves as a regional and national center for instructional, research, and outreach programs for the natural resources community. We stayed in double occupancy dorm-style rooms with private bath in a beautiful northwoods setting. When we put our luggage into right place, we played the King game at boys'. We had a lot of fun because we must do something that was stupid and trick, like a boy went to a girl's room and said loudly"xxx, I love you."
Next day was a sunshine day. We got up and had breakfast buffet. The breakfast was really good. It offered cakes, sausage, eggs, fruit and mile and so on. We went to the Split Rock Lighthouse which was located at 40 miles north in Duluth. It was a wonderful lighthouse built around 1910. The Visitor Center has spectacular views of the big lake, exhibits featuring artifacts and information on the history of the light station, the history of the North Shore, and facts about Lake Superior shipping, and a Museum Store. I learnt that Split Rock Lighthouse is one of the most recognized and photographer icons in the state. In the early years of the 20th century, iron ore shipments on Lake Superior doubled and redoubled. Shipwrecks on Lake Superior's North Shore in 1905 November prompted this rugged landmark's construction. Completed by the U.S. Lighthouse Service in 1910, Split Rock Light Station was soon one of Minnesota's best known landmarks. Restored to its 1920s appearance, the lighthouse offers a glimpse of lighthouse life in this remote and spectacular setting. We took lots of photos there. Oh,they were so beautiful.
