Myanmar 2019: Day 3 out of 5 : More temple-running

Image
Day 3 Started the day with a hearty breakfast by the pool Left the hotel at 9am, and just after a few minutes car ride, the first stop of the day was at ah-shay phwarsaw village . This was just to have a glimpse of the simple life. Making peanut oil No peanuts lay waste .. Feeds to the animal (nothing goes to waste!) The lone tractor in the village ( the rest are drawn by buffalo) Weaving cotton into something wonderful by this lady... and using these fine trades (threads and the loom) to make blanket, towels and scarves... The guide took to the cotton field to bring some freshly picked cotton.. The next part of the tour was a  horse cart sight-see around old Bagan (originally I wanted to have this taken out of the itinerary, but they decided to put it in so.. ) Trying to get a picture while riding the dusty path ... Some of the stupas ...
