Temple tourismon a Saturday afternoon

My Lady Friend and I are now in Yeoju, Gyeonggi-Do, South Korea. This is about 45 minutes ESE of Seoul. We went out into the COLD air (our first experience of northern hemisphere winter after being in Cairo, Bangkok and then Taipei these past few months) to hail a taxi into town, but we ended up walking over to the World Ceramic Expo site across the street.

Behind all of the ceramic shops and a park is Silleuksa Temple, "a historical temple believed to have been founded by Saint Wonhyo during the Silla Dynasty. The Silleuksa Temple is one of the only lakeside temples in Korea."
