Korea - Day #12 (May 10, 2011) - Buddha's Birthday

Today was Buddha's birthday and my mom wanted us to go to her temple with her.  She indicated that the head monk (female, which is unusual) has always asked about me.  We thought it would be a good idea to accompany her to see the temple which would be decorated with lots of lotus lanterns and catch up with the head monk.  It was raining pretty hard in the morning so most lanterns were covered with a plastic canopy.
