After breakfast at the Franciscan Center, the group had their last liturgy together.Then it was on to the bus for a three-hour trip to northeast Taiwan.The destination was a shrine set on a mountain side and it required a hike up a long, steep, and winding road.Our destination was a Marian shrine, established where some hikers are supposed to have had an apparition of Mary on the mountainside in 1980.Our group praying inside the shrine.A group photo at the shrine.From the shrine a trail leads up the mountain side to several waterfalls.A group of us below the waterfall.Coming down from the mountain, we ate lunch in a restaurant that serves only locally produced foods in an old converted barn.Finally we got back to Taipei and the group split up. Some were staying in Taipei a few more days. The rest got back on the bus to go to the airport.Later that evening some of the group staying in Taipei got together for dinner.
