First Glance of Burma: A Photo Essay

May 8, 2013 Photo Essays, Travel

 
I have a slew of post drafts for Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and even Bangkok (eventually) coming your way.
I can’t help but share the following from my first day in Burma…I can’t begin to tell you how much I have already fallen for this place.  The sights have blown me away, the people are some of the kindest and friendliest I have encountered, and the food…well, the food is spectacular.
I’ve only been in the country one day but I already can’t stop smiling.  Please enjoy the following photos; I love bringing you along on my journey! 🙂

    Anne- OMG! These photographs are stunning! I cannot wait to hear more about your thoughts and impressions.
    Be safe and travel well. You are the eyes and ears for all who cannot join you just yet. This is the stuff travel dreams are made of!
    Which of these colors will be the next #worldcolors topic? Hmmm, too many choices.
