Mary Robison and I *Really* Enjoyed Our Time
At The Buddhist Monk Temples In
Southern California.
As I walked by this one wall, I saw in the corner of my eye the temples! :) I wish I knew what the writings say here but I did manage to figure out my name in "Google Translate" to add the final touches!

Hi Doug, Michelle and Mare! :D Thank you all so much. Michelle, it really was a dream come true for me to meet so many BPers! And I can't wait to meet more in the days to come. #11161607Laura E. Swan October 18, 2014
Mare, I know it. I know how blessed we were for that day. I felt it all day long. When we got to the temple there was a peace from the time we got out of the car to the time we got back in. (No reflection my my driving skills of course! HeeHee!) The temple was filled with ancient history and glued together with lasting traditions that have endured the ages. And even though it was a large contrast to my own beliefs, it was an honor to be there and be able to capture these moments in time that have make their religion what it is today. Important to them. I am so glad we were there on such a quiet day. It was like it was meant to be. Just for you and I to take in and remember always. It was a special event that I will never forget. Thank you again for this wonderful day. Big hugs to you for helping to make my long long road trip one that was filled with special memories.Laura E. Swan October 18, 2014
