This is a small look out point a little down from the temple.  It's built next the river/stream, and is the same design as the temple, but is not a part of the temple, or at least I don't think it is.

Rob and I standing on the steps of one of the main buildings.  The painted wood work you see above us is all handcrafted.  Neither words, nor pictures really do justice to just how amazing it is.

This a really nice scenic picture.  Looks like something that should be on a post card somewhere.  You can see a little bit of the wood work at the corner.  And the tree is a very nice, stereotypical Asian tree.

This is me in front of a door that leads into a courtyard for one of the smaller buildings in the temple.  I think someone said it was part of the living quarters for the monks but I really don't know.

This a little stream that runs next to the main path to the temple.  In the fall and winter the water level is a lot lower, but in the spring and summer I'm told it picks up with more run off from the mountains.

This is another exciting picture of me.  The tree was quite neat, overhanging the river bed.  You'll notice the lack of shaving and the always stylish "Pain Train" t-shirt, really making me stand out from the crowd.
