Borobudur is a huge Buddhist sanctuary that is thought to have been started to be built around 750 AD and finished somewhere between 50 and 150 years later. The carvings are amazing and tell the story of the way from the life of the flesh to perfection.  It is about 400 feet on a side and stood about 150 feet high.  http://www.borobudur.tv/

    When did you actually visit this place. I have been skimming back through August, but can’t seem to find it. And the one the next day also.

    Hi Cindy –

    Your mother was mistaken – we went there in August. We have a great book about the two places so you can learn much more about it. Also there is quite a lot on the web about the sites.

    Love you – Dad
