Saturday Stroll


Last weekend, Catherine, Bill and I set out on a random stroll. We meet for lunch and then headed out into the city. With no agenda we would arrive at a street corner at which time one of would say right or left and that was the direction we headed. We find this a great way to find something new and off the "tourist" scene.

What we found was a Buddhist temple. I don't know the name of temple or what the history is....everything is in Chinese, we are in China - you know.


***Up the steps we go....., oops, didn't pay our 10 yuan. Got to do that first.....***












***Is this the offical pose for China? Just don't look right when a man strikes the pose. Bill put your hand down. Who loves you babe?***
















***Buddha alter****










***Prayer Candles***
