Thursday - Preppin' for Buddha's 2555th!

Well, 4 years ago when we were here to meet Annabelle for the first time, we were in town around the time of Buddha's birthday.  This time, we're also in town just before the birthdate, and our hotel is just a few steps away from the Jogeysa temple where they're getting ready to celebrate!  Saturday evening there will be a parade which starts somewhere else in town (and ends here), and Sunday there is a street fair.  We're always amazed at all the pretty colors from the lanterns!  Here are just a few (well more than a few) of the many shots we took by the temple today...enjoy!  (Oh, he's turning 2555 next week!)
