Monk Meditation in Myanmar; Snapshot Sunday

Monk Meditation in Myanmar; Snapshot Sunday

One of the most picturesque places that we visited in Myanmar was Inle Lake. Known for it’s one legged rowers and handmade craft shops, we spent days exploring the villages that line this second largest lake in the country formerly known as Burma. It was dry season while we were there and only days before the water festival but you never would have known it. Our time was spent seeing the sites in the rain and cloud. We hired a boat one day to see the markets, pagodas and monasteries of the area and as a storm blew in, we found shelter at the Jumping Cat Monastery.

Visiting Burma was one of our most fulfilling travel experiences. It was a difficult travel taking local transport. The 30 hours in transit from Kyaikto to Inle Lake was definitely a difficult journey. We transferred from bus, to van, to the back of a truck to a taxi. It was hot, it was crowded, it was long. But the people were so friendly.
