It was a short but fruitful trip.
However, the 3 days in Taipei were dashing between airport, a convent, a monastery, a religious center and airport. It was a Holy Dash...
I arrived at Taipei at about 4:00pm with 3 other friends - Robert, Jane and Christina. Except Robert, Christina was the uni-mate of Sr. Marie, and Jane through church activities. They would attend the Solemn Profession and stay back for a retreat.
We were welcomed by the Sisters at the St. Benedict Convent in Danshui, north of Taipei. The Sisters had prepared for us comfortable rooms and delicious meals.
At night we had the opportunity to visit the night market of Danshui town and tried out the various local hawker food. (more pictures at Facebook)
这趟台北之行，虽短但圆满结束。
这三天的行程，主要就是奔跑在机场，修院，隐修院，修会中心及机场之间，可说是一项『朝圣之奔驰』。。。我还以为到圣洁的地方，不需要很多的步行，所以没带我的第三只脚（手杖），但却出乎意料之外的相反，幸好我的残脚没有出卖我。
我在星期六傍晚四时左右抵达台北。同行的有贵才（Robert), 妙琴(Jane)和慧娜(Christina)。除了贵才他不认识之外，慧娜是玛丽亚修女（金燕）的大学同学，而妙琴则透过教会活动，认识玛丽亚修女。他们三人都会和我一同参加发愿典礼（主要目的），然后留在圣本笃修院作避静。
坐落在北部的淡水圣本笃会修院的修女热情的欢迎我们，并为我们准备好了舒适的房间及美味哦餐膳。
在晚上，我们也趁机到离开修院不远的淡水夜市场溜达，并品尝道地的著名小吃。(更多照片Facebook）
