Myanmar – just for fun.
Here a a few behind the scenes, courtesy of my Aunt Bal.
Inle Lake. If you ever have the opportunity … go visit!
Feeding an elephant a banana. They won’t eat the banana if the peel is on.
Holding a tiny kitty cat at the “jumping cat monastery,” or properly called, Nga Hpe Kyaung at Inle Lake.
My Aunt (who took me on the trip!!), Bal and me at the Shwedgan Paya. In Myanmar you must remove your shoes before entering a religious site, etc.
At the Shwedagon Paya. I was born on a Monday, the day of the tiger.
About two days into my virus/cold. No voice and a harmonious, persistent, 3-week long cough.
I’ll let you wonder.
In Mingun atop the huge “pile of bricks” also known as Mingun Paya. It is considered a religious site so one must remove their shoes before climbing.
The Mingun Paya was quite the sketchy climb (this is a teeny portion of it), especially when barefoot.
Thank you Mom for teaching me by osmosis how to squat at a young age.
When you are tromping through mud, it’s best to be barefoot.
Just be prepared to for a mud bath (if this is my sock tan in the winter, I’ll frighten everyone come summer … ).
The kids were so friendly.
The kids in a particular village kept handing me flowers. Pretty soon my hands were full, hence the hair decor.
She was intent on taking a picture with me.
Auntie Bal and me in Bagan.
And that’s that
