Richmond

I'd been wanting to visit the big Buddhist Temple on the south side of Richmond for many years, but never seemed to get to it. One year, M and I actually went to another nearby temple thinking it was this one - which was interesting, but not the same.  This one is run by the International Buddhist Society. I'm no Buddhist, but the concept is appealing. And the temple and the grounds were just really neat to wander through.

The temple is located along the Steveston Highway, where Richmond suburbia sort of gives way to the last few farms and berry fields left along the southern edge of the city.
