on the way back to Pai

Wandering around Mae Hong So in the morning we came
across several groups of monks on their alms round.
They stop in front of the houses where the people have 
set up little tables with food.  To give thanks  the young monks chant
the monk quarters look very comfortable and are quite old
a very big statue of Buddha in a side temple
The main temple was big and had a polished floor
The shrines were loaded with offerings and statues
Sweeping of the floors seemed like a dance
a beautiful image of the Buddha
the mountains are covered in mist
