I'm so slow, but almost done with pics from our trip.  :)

Oct 13th - Pictures from Buddhist Temple and the Chen Family Temple

Buddhist Temple

This Buddha looks a bit mean.

 People leaving their gifts at the altar.

 Another Buddha

 Temple

 This is a thing where people will toss coins into it and if they make it in one of the windows/openings, it's considered good luck.

 Burning incense

 Oils, fruits, offerings

 Monks during a worship service

Worshippers

I could not speak to these sweet people since I don't know their language, but I kept thinking that "at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth".

Chen Family Temple

Our family at the Chen house

 Amazing detail - on even the roof!

This family temple is now a cultural art exhibit.  All of the carvings were so incredibly intricate!

Master Chen: He paints with his HANDS.  No brush!  We have "four season" scrolls in our living room now painted by him. 

 Jade

Ceramic art

 Lime Sculpture

 At night, we went to the 7-11.  We found some things not in the US 7-11s.  :)

 Some sort of fish, I think?

 Meal - all ready to go! ;)

And in case you're having digestive issues, don't worry....the same great taste hasn't changed.  :)

We didn't give it a try though.
