Bagan

I'm no archeological expert, but I'm going to go out on a limb and call this the pagoda capital of earth. Apparently there were 10,000 built between around 1,000 and 1,300 when this place was the capital of the area that now approximates Myanmar. Almost 3,000 are left standing or have been renovated enough to visit.  It's really amazing. And very beautiful. 

Bhudda is in the entries. 

Small staircase. 

Cindy not feeling so well but toughing it out.

Pagodas as far as the eye can see. 

Sunset!

Next morning we visited more.

Stretchy. 

Steep stairs.

Sunlight hall. 

Tandem team tourism. 

Dry but beautiful farming areas. 

This is the largest one. 

Cindy way down there. 

Cindy named this hair the "Burmese Breeze". 

No wind. Nice temp. It's peaceful just to sit.
