Tiny stairs to ginormous views.

Step one in Lotus weaving.










Views from markets.






Vibrance everywhere.













Momma and baby.



A peaceful farewell.



I think I fell in love with Burma. The people, the temples, the adventures. Being in Bagan was one of the best days of my life. No words can describe the feeling of being surrounded by immense beauty and  having it all to yourself. Just beautiful.

Until next time.
