Another House Visit and Ritual Temple Visit

Top is group pic at another house we visited. Seated in center of this pic is the family matriarch (eldest grandmother).

It is customary for Vietnamese to visit their Buddhist temples on the 1st day of the lunar new year. I was asked to accompany them (as I have been for the past 3 years). The bottom pic is a group pic taken at the matriarch's temple. All the monks at this temple are females and one of them remembered me from my previous visits.
