Pilgrimage. . .

This is the scene from the main church in Cartago, Costa Rica.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people make the pilgrimage to the church for blessings by the Virgin of the Angels.

This main church is in Los Angeles, Cartago. There are a lot of towns called Los Angeles in Costa Rica, including one about 8 miles from Tree Houses.

Folks will flock to the churches in Los Angeles, and they mostly do it on foot. Some do it on their knees, traveling a long distance, while other go in cars, bikes or by horse.

It makes for some very congested roads around anyplace dubbed Los Angeles, though it is a really cool sight to see, all of the people walking, talking and celebrating.
