flick just erased my description and my title. grrrr...
I'll try again.
I wake each morning smelling slightly of dog.
and then I look at the day forward and decide what I might do.
friday, after breakfast out, we run our errands, and then arrive home to dogs who act like we might never return, leaving them to eat dirt and drink out of the toilets.
out to the field.
after some piddling in the garden, and after lunch, I come upstairs to my room to read. and I see three sleeping dogs in the sun after running themselves silly outside.
they rest peacefully at the end of this year, waiting for the beginning of the next.

I contemplate my reality, and it is good.
now it's time for me to get back to work.

A bride in a contemplative pose in front of a huge 10 foot window. The natural light from the window was the only illumination. The back of her dress is highlighted from light reflecting off a white wall behind her. Hers was one of the most beautiful wedding dresses I've ever seen.
A classic destination in Myanmar is Inle Lake. Most everyone heads for the Nyaungshwe and takes a tour from there. Unfortunately, since our first visit in 1998, the place has been overrun with a gazillion tourists. Try the alternative. There is actually a system of three lakes connected by a river. We hired a boat in Pekon, north of Loikaw, ( itself a fabulous place), and spent two days traveling north to the circus at Inle Lake. It was tremendously pleasant with hardly any other foreigners. We stayed at the Paya Taung monastery the first night; a lovely, authentic experience. Pictured is a young student monk from the temple.
