On 9/11, my wife and I ventured to the Valley of the Temples to see the Byodo-In Temple, a replica of the traditional Japanese style building and temples built to honor immigration of Japanese to the island of Oahu, Hawaii. While there, we got to feed the koi fish, the birds and pray in the temple. Remove your shoes when venturing into the inner hall where Buddha statue stands tall and ominous. This video is of myself grabbing the ram to ring the gong located to the left of the temple.
At the westcoast of Portugal, about 50 km below Porto, you'll find the charming city of Aviero. On it's canals, the moliceiro boats sail. They look stylish and elegant like a gondola. In the past, this type of boat was used to collect seaweed in the lagoon. With a kind of rakes that are attached to the boat, the weed could be removed from the shallow bottom. It was then used as fertilizer in agriculture. Now these Portuguese boats are now used for tourist boat trips. It was a pleasure to see them pass by, with happy tourists in it. The canals have colorful bridges and I made a video of a violinist standing next to the bridge, as the moliceiro boats pass by.
