Marathon Inspiration

"Seeing it once is better than being told 100 times."
- Zhou Chongguo, Han Dynasty

Today was an easy but inspiring day that went like this: (1) a bus trip through the Olympic area, (2) a visit to the Lama Temple (called one of the largest and most important Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in the world) and a chance to see an 85 foot tall standing Buddha, and (3) a visit to the Temple of Heaven. Only complaint, can be seen in the photo above (and no those aren't clouds in front of the Bird's Nest).
