BAGAN, BURMA, LAND OF THE STUPAS

We are using planes like most people use buses. This morning, 5:00AM off to Bagan. We will be plane hopping all over the country along with the Burmese. We landed in Bagan and immediately knew this was eerie. There are over 4400 Stupas and temples in a 20 square mile area. Stupas are where the monks ashes are put, but so many. Most are over 900 years old, just everywhere you look.
