Mazu Pilgrimage

[fcgamer | 4,725]

Every year there's a huge pilgrimage that begins in the city in which I live, here in Taiwan. Before I used to live right along the coast and saw the progression as everyone passed through the districts along the coast, but I've since moved downtown; however I've wanted to walk this pilgrimage for years. It takes about a week, as they take Mazu the sea goddess to a temple down south and back again, and I might try to walk the whole thing next year as I won't be working. This year though, I am content with walking for one day's length of the journey, joined by my father-in-law.

Anyways just got home a little while ago. I'm quite sore after walking eight hours in 86F degree weather, also got sunburnt on my face, let's just say a lot of those folks never saw a red-faced white guy.

Overall it was quite an interesting day.
