Around the Grounds

Each morning, this elderly woman picks up the leaves and fallen  flowers on the grounds. This is a shot of her across the pond.
The lotus flowers in the morning and closes in the hot sun.
This is the pond across by the girls' dorm. I love the way it looks in the morning haze.

The bonsai in Viet Nam are larger than what we in the States are used to. Here is a small one, about 18 inches high. Some of the mature bonsai get up to four feet and are seven feet wide.
The walk from the dining room to where we stay.
A long shot of the soccer field.
This is the dorm between the chapel and where we stay. In the summer it is used for travelers.
The front of the chapel where Vietnamese mass is celebrated each morning and where we had English mass at 10:30 a.m.
