As Tropical Storm Flossie approached our little Hawaiian island we tried to think of things to do that would still be fun, but keep us mostly dry too! Of course we ended up at a mall first, come on, shopping is fun any time. On the way home however we drove into the Valley of Temples which is a memorial park located in Kaneohe. Driving past the Valley of Temples you wouldn't think it is much more then a cemetery. Yet located all the way in the back, nestled up against the mountain, is the beautiful Byodo-In Temple. It is still a functioning Buddhist temple, but they let you walk around the grounds, ring the bell for blessings and happiness before entering the temple and go inside the area where they have a carved Buddha that stands over 18 feet tall. The temple itself was created as a replica of a temple in Uji, Japan and the whole thing was built with out the use of nails! Pretty incredible if you ask me.
