This is the Karakweik Restaurant at night. It floats on a big lake in the Myanmar capitol of Yangon, and it's huge.
This is the Shwedagon Pagoda. It is huge, too. It's apparently built over some of Buddha's hairs and the entire complex feels like a Buddhist Disney World.
Here we are at the Shwedagon Pagoda. Do you see that dark cloud back there?
Thank goodness for all these shelters because we kinda forgot our umbrellas on the bus to Inle. (The bell in the photo reminds me- we also saw the worlds largest unbroken bell in Mandalay. The largest is in Russia and, ironically, I've seen that one, too.)Find out how we kept ourselves occupied for a few hours...

We figured out that our camera's macro lens kicks butt! Why did we not figure this out sooner?!? (Also, Megan laments the fact that we didn't start using the widescreen feature until last week. Coulda come in handy in those mountains in Vietnam... Guess that's what monsoons are for! Also we had a stoned man come try to trade jewelry with Josh. He was escorted out by officials. Weird day.)

Megan - When I saw those amazing buildings I was wondering where Bird was in all of this. I missed him! But then I got to the end of the blog......
Made me laugh a LOT!
I can't decided if bird looks more like Meg or Josh. The pictures of your eyes are so detailed. They are amazing to really look it. I will email you with many updated since we have gotten back from Michigan. Love forever and always, Mom
You guys are so funny! Are the rest of your pics going to be a series of photographs that reflect what you're seeing in your eyes? Actually, that would be an interesting piece. "Bangaldesh: Through Our Eyes"
