This is where the whole idea for this got started. It was Chinese New Year and we had decided to celebrate by having dim sum (with traditional chrysanthemum tea), visiting a Buddhist temple, and then in American fashion, going to the outlet coach store!
Here we are outside the temple. We had to take our shoes off every time we went inside, Mandy was a bit nervous at first leaving them unattended but I told her stealing shoes outside the temple is the same as stealing bibles from a church! ;)
We went around the grounds and saw all the marble statues representing the deities which have to be carved by hand for them to have legitimacy. We got to see the monks dormatories and even learn a bit of Buddhist history. A very fun day!
