Kind of different, but interesting

While Mike & Michelle were here, we visited our neighbor's wallaby several times. The cousins thought it was really cool. The wallaby "Rupert" has been in our neighborhood for several years, so we don't think of him as being unusual anymore. All the kids enjoyed feeding Rupert bread & cheerios.



Another site that is uncommon, but which we really don't notice much is the Krishna's Lotus Temple in Salem. I've driven passed it hundreds of times, but never have thought to stop by. Michelle wanted to, so we did.





It was interesting, but to be honest, I didn't really enjoy touring their temple. The strong smell of incense burned my eyes & gave me a headache. The strong smell of Indian food made me slightly nauseous. But, I did like that they believe in peace & harmony. I thought it was amusing to see pictures of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young & Wilford Woodruff on the first floor of their temple. They said they have great respect for these men. The kids were fascinated by the bird that stood on one leg in an yoga position!
