It's been hard to find time or energy or dependable Internet connection to create blog entries. But here we are at last at quite an upscale hotel with a lovely pool, so we are lounging around it after a refreshing swim (its affordable because we are 3 in a room). This morning we spent touring around the archeological district with our guide, Saya (teacher) Thaung Lwin in our air conditioned van. We saw about 4 of the 4,476 temples, payas, pagodas and stupas that there are on this area.
We learned our limits in Mandalay walking around in the mid-day sun which, of course, only mad dogs and Englishmen, and evidently elderly white ladies, do. Now we go out early, and return after lunch to hang out in or around the pool. We will go out again to watch the sunset somewhere and return for Happy Hour. Last night we bought a $5 bottle of locally brewed rum and mixed it with tonic and lime -- 3 nice drinks for each of us.
