A Trip to Lu-Gong's Temples

3-9-14 7:13am Sun. (1)

      Wayne picked us up at 4pm on the dot and drove with us to Lu-Gong. We got there in less than an hour. We went to the three Matsu temples and numerous other temples and special places that Wayne knew well. We stopped off at a food stand for little bowls of rice and pork, and then we continued to walk. We walked around a good four hours. Then, it started to rain. Luckily, the building overhangs in Lu-Gong weren’t choked with cycles and restaurants and we hardly got wet at all. Leona and I were, however, getting tired, and hungry. Wayne was too excited and took us to more places. The trouble was, by the time we got back to the main street, all the restaurants were closed. We walked back to his hybrid car and he still kept touring us driving to a            closed total glass temple in an empty industrial area and then to a restaurant in Chang-Hua that we had no desire to eat at; there was a waiting line, anyway. Going through the streets most of the way, he passed three signs to the freeway. We were too polite in not telling him we wanted home. It took him two and a half hours to bring us.
