Lotus Lantern Festival

Lanterns lit up at night

Amazing ceiling...

Some of the monks taking part in the parade

Natalia and I with the lanterns that they were giving out for the parade - I think that technically we were supposed to walk in the parade with them.

This little guy was so adorable - it was a great festival to take kids to - lots of crafts and interesting things to look at


Me with some girls getting ready for the parade

So many Lotus Lanterns everywhere!

The Lotus Lanterns and the candles inside signify enlightenment and the blossoming of wisdom.

The temple during the day - still beautiful. It was a really amazing sight to see. You walk into the temple courtyard, and suddenly all the lanterns are everywhere.
