What is “The True North”?
Where is Thunder Bay?
位于德阿姆广场对面，外表宏伟壮观，内部金碧辉煌。 ?走入其中，圣乐飘扬，有一种直指人心的伟大力量。不说他的庞大的空间，那华美的雕刻，精致的设计，每一样都令我们惊为天人。要说建筑的话，这绝对是这次行程中最令我叹服的一幢了。除开建筑，教堂里神圣而庄严的气场，绝对是你在国内的寺庙所感受不到的，加之这里浩大宏伟，绝对是震慑人心的力量。我这种无宗教信仰者都被深深震撼，不要说那些在旁边呆若木鸡的老美了。值得游。
世界上规模最大的瀑布确实是壮观震撼, 运气很好是个秋高气爽的大晴天, 瀑布的水气出现了完整的彩虹, 景色更加的美丽.
建议想要去瀑布的朋友们带好保暖的衣物, 北部夜晚真的很冷. 最好是带那种又保暖又防水的冲锋衣, 因为只要是来到大瀑布的人在白天都会选择乘坐雾中少女号(Maid of Mist)亲身体验大瀑布的壮丽!!当船停在美国瀑布前的时候, 这种大自然才有的震撼感令我感动到落泪. 我们是该怀有怎样一颗尊敬又感恩的心, 来欣赏这样的美景, 来感叹大自然这样鬼斧神工的力量.
