What a treat to be invited to the family ceremony to pray and give thanks for the success of the new boat we were on. We went with the owners and their father to the island of Quan Lan where they grew up. There we transfered to the wharf which had flags flying from all the fishing boats and went to three of the five temples that were visited that day. We traveled by Tuc Tuc, a motorcycle-powered covered wagon (five adults and five children inside). The temples ranged from simple cement block buildings to outrageously decorated large structures and one that was used as a community center complete with old women playing cards and gambling just outside the steps.
