What Acts of Pilgrimage Have You Undertaken?

[mongers]

Have you done any pilgrimages, be those religious or a journey undertaken for other reasons that you think is a pilgrimage of sorts?

Cleveland Municipal Stadium, 1989.

[celedhring]

Graceland, 2009.

[Duque de Bragança]

Prince Eugene tomb at St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna in 2012.

Les Invalides, The Flamingo in Vegas, and a number of battlefields.

Well there was the time I drove 11 hours from Phoenix to Santa Clara to have sex for 6 hours, only to turn around and drive right back.

Not sure if it was good enough to call it a "pilgrimage" though.

If it was just you, then probably not.

I drove the Lewis and Clark Trail.

Bruce Lee's grave.

Bouchon Restaurant.

The Hill of Tara and The Rock of Cashel.

Mark Twain's newspaper office (not much of a pilgrimage).

The Alrosa Villa.



Hopefully before 2016 is over:

Trinity test site

The Paris hotel Jean Genet died in; I stayed there for the few nights I was in Paris for that reason and because the price was right. (It's a €40/night flophouse with one bathroom per hall, so not all that different than when Genet lived there, although right before he died he couldn't get a room at the cheap hotel he usually occupied, so he stayed at this one instead.)

L.F. Céline's hometown of Courbevoie-sur-Seine. (Of course the passages where he lived and his mother mended lace for a living has long been totally knocked down and half is at least occupied by the La Défense modern building conglomeration.)

President Eisenhower's boyhood home, chapel, and presidential library in Abilene, Kansas.

I was caught up on all the Big Ten football stadiums until they invited Nebraska, then invited Rutgers and Maryland before I could decide whether to go to Lincoln just to keep the rate at 100%.

I do plan to get to a Maryland game, maybe when Michigan plays there next year, but probably won't go to Rutgers. The Nebraska atmosphere is supposed to be terrific, but I just can't see paying that kind of money (air fare, hotel, tickets) any time soon.

I went to New York when I was 13. Actually I probably went before then.

Canterbury Abbey
National Cathedral (before the SJWs fucked it up)
