Haeinsa

We left Dangjin late Friday night (actually, technically it was Saturday morning-12:30am) and drove south. It was a pretty leasurely journey from my point of view. We stopped at plenty of rest areas :). Our first destination on Saturday was Hae-in-sa, one of the most famous Buddhist temples in Korea. It was beautiful. However, we certainly weren't the only ones there. It was pretty full of people, including this group of kids from the YMCA. Tracy pointed out that their hats were reminscent of Madeline books... And I rode a dragon. ;) What this particular temple is especially known for is a collection of wooden tablets they have. They're from long ago when they did printing with them. They're all kinds of important Buddhist writings. If I could read Korean, I might be able to tell you what some of the info there said about them :). Oh, and paper lanterns are pretty.
