chanting tonight at Wat NaLuang

Great to visit the novice monks at Wat NaLuang this afternoon, they were curious to know how I found the boat racing festival and there's heaps of excitement about returning to school next week.
We read the Sunday papers, they asked lots of intellectual questions which I couldn't answer so suggested we look at the travel section, this led to a discussion about endangered rhinos, their horns are sold to Vietnam for medicinal potions making them more valuable than gold.
The bell rang signalling time for chanting, the novices dressed in full robes to pray to the Buddha, I sat at the back of the temple, tonight I simply relaxed and did yoga breathing exercises. The novices keep promising they'll teach me the words of their prayers and then i can join in, looking forward to that
