他的朋友推薦参觀The New Cathedral (Cathedral Basilica) ， 
果然，
它比起The Old Cathedral更有看頭…
除了很大間，
可容纳龐大人数，
裝璜、
材料、
設計
都很富麗堂皇。
噢…
原來Saint Louis城市名是取自這位法國國王聖名。
Steve不忘為亡父點燭燈…
我們觀賞完教堂，準備要出去了，却聽到播音報告…即將會有一項電子風琴介紹。
電子風琴師講解這架已有82年历歷史的電子風琴，
它已被翻新装了一些很先进的仪器… 如小電視營幕可觀察教堂各角落的情况、預先錄制音樂系統、
連接着教堂樓上各處的118 列，
共有7,621器管…等等一些我對樂器一竅不通的設置。只知道它價值不菲。我們有辛走了一趟電子風琴師有趣的電子風琴設備遊覽。
在回途中，我和Steve的談話…
“為什么你住在這里這么久了，很多地方你都没去過？” “一個人去觀賞，不会感覺有趣…”
“我改變了你的人生？” “不僅！我以前的生活，只是工作、回家、吃、睡、工作，不像人生！”
“我美麗了你的人生？” “Yes！”
“我豐富了你的人生？” “Yes！”
“你也豐富了我的人生。”
Steve has lived in
His friend recommended visiting the New Cathedral (Cathedral Basilica). It’s really more attractive than the Old Cathedral… Not only is it much larger to contain many more people, but the materials, decorations and design were very gorgeous and majestic. Oh…the city’s name of
We finished the visit in church and thought to go out… then we heard an announcement that a tour of the organ was about to start.
An organist introduced the organ, which is 82 years old, but it has had some advance technologies installed… Like a small TV screen for some view points in church and a music recording system (a sequencer). It is connected to 118 ranks (7,621 pipes) in the dome and throughout the church… Some things I didn’t understand as I don’t know much about musical instruments. I just know it was valuable. We had an interesting organ tour by the organist.
A Cathedral Fete (festival) in the yard…
We talked in the car on the way back home…
“Why haven’t you been to these places, as you’ve been living here so long?” “I didn’t think it would be interesting to visit them alone…”
“I changed your life?” “More than you can imagine! My previous life was not a life. I just went to work, back home, eat, sleep, and work. That was not a life!”
“I color your life?” “Yes!”
“I enrich your life?” “Yes!”
“You enrich my life too.”
