Wednesday was Reunification Day, so Bill and I took took the day to visit the Perfume Pagoda -- a two hour bus ride, one hour boat ride, short hike, and cable car to the top of a mountain.
There are thousands of boats and the families have a lottery to decide who gets to row tourists.
There were hundreds of little shops set up on the way to the pagoda, but it was the last day of a three month festival and they were all getting ready to go home. These animals were hanging outside one of the restaurants -- I guess as advertising.
This boat was taking some families and their merchandise. The other nine months of the years, most of these people farm.
The Pagoda is in a cave and beautiful. The Dali Lama visited last year. I really admire him for making this journey at his age.
