我昨天從土庫驛走到西螺新天宮,走了28公里左右。我看著大甲媽祖地圖繞到好多寺廟拜拜、休息一下,有時候跟旁邊的人聊天。

我在虎尾鎮新翰宮跟一個消防員大哥聊天,他因為職位比較高,大部分的工作需要交際能力,所以很好聊。大哥給我介紹他的工作怎麼樣,也順便教我一個很有趣的說法:酒量就是工作量。消防員的工作因為文化的關係,需要能喝很多酒才做得到。還好,我不是做這份工作。

我到西螺新天宮,因為累了就決定要那邊過夜。新天宮的裝飾非常漂亮,而且晚上有多彩燈光讓它更漂亮。因為不可以在裡面睡著,香客都住廟旁邊的帳棚下面,我那邊睡得還可以。

今天我走到西螺福善寺再休息,因為要參加我去年在白沙屯媽祖認識的朋友的團體。他們是白天睡覺夜中走,所以我今天白天先休息,晚上再跟他們一起走路。

我今天也收到蠻多幫助跟好意,讓我走到這裡,感恩!
