Beach lunch breaks

We enjoy delicous vegetarian lunches prepared for us by the nuns. We marvel at the students cleaning the cafeteria. They pose for a photo - the sun came out for a minute! We walk a block to China Beach. We take our shoes off to walk with sand between our toes and to touch the South China Sea! Across the bay is a huge statue. We learn later that this is part of a new Buddist Temple. The statue is similar in size to the Statue of Liberty. She is the Buddhistava, the feminen Buddha.

See photos is the Picasss album alongside this post for some beach shots and see the Buddhistava photo album, too!
