Six Banyan Trees Temple

Later the morning of the 18th we went to the Six Banyan Trees temple.  The six trees died many centuries ago.  The pagoda there is quite old.  In back of that is this large room with three large sitting statues that people come and offer prayers to.  Gifts of food are left.

Nice embroidery

Views on the way back to the hotel, 

a different route, west side of the city

Accidental shot, perfectly framed

Late that afternoon a trip to the fish market 
off the western end of the island.  

Oh the sights we saw, 
until the battery on the camera gave out.

Frogs by the crate load
a frog or two lying squished on the ground

Here a turtle

There a turtle or more

Eels

That ended this day
