Bagan

Bagan. Ancient capital of a huge Buddhist civilization a thousand years ago where every family built their own pagoda for worshipping. Today it's the land of thousands of pagodas. We stop at two this afternoon: the Htilominio Temple, above ...

where I pose with the Buddha

and the beautiful Ananda temple with its four 31' tall Buddhas in the center (about which I blogged in 2013)

and an exquisite reclining Buddha in a small wall niche.

And, of course, several locals selling all manner of souvenirs.
