Monday, May 12, 2008 was Buddha’s Birthday, and a major Korean holiday. So, after dinner with our friends Ginger and John and their two kids Joel and Jade we all went to the Buddhist temple here on the Korean part of the base for a lantern parade and a ceremony in honor of Buddha’s birthday. The whole event was very out of the ordinary for us and I wish I understood more of what was going on. The kids did have a grand time walking in the parade with their lanterns. The pictures we took do not do it justice. Seeing all the lanterns lit up was really quite a sight. We had to leave the parade early because it was after bedtime for the kids and we had no idea what time it would be over. So, we are not sure how it finished.
