New Slide Show and Buddha Statues

I have added a new slide show to the right.It is of some of the most adorable asian kids we have seen on our travels...so unbelievable cute and precious. I know I sound like a doting father, but children here are dressed like dolls with all the accessories and cared for by their parents in ways that are different from those in US.

Please click on the picture in the slideshow to go to big versions of the pictures. Also, when you are at the Picassa Web Albums, click on the upper left PICASSA WEB ALBUMS, I have another album of extraordinary carved statues of monks.

The album is titled "The Monks of Lane 190". Above our apartment, a good LONG walk up the mountain, and out in a field is a buddhist temple, a very plain sort of temple. In the field in front and to the side is a huge collection of several hundred statues of Buddha in every guise. I have no idea why they are there or who carved them. They just are...rather Zen like don't you think. Please enjoy them.
