Pagodas are mysterious. I remember being fascinated by them as a child.

This one is in ruins - perhaps the result of a lightning strike, @slowwalker.

Those relics are precious - this pagoda probably housed many sacred objects and writings.

The smile on your mother's face at the end sums up the blissful mode of this photo essay - lovely food, beautiful photos and another joyful memory.

Good work, @slowwalker!
