I’m doing well in Myanmar.  Left the monastery a couple of days ago and I’m headed to Inle Lake tomorrow morning.  Here’s a picture of the humble room where I lived for two weeks.  Yes, I admit, it’s very comfortable for a cave dwelling. What the picture doesn’t show is that the bed is 5 feet long so I ended up sleeping on the ground on trusty old Thermarest.  This once again goes to prove that the Thermarest is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century and one of my wisest REI purchases ever.  Actually, maybe my only wise REI purchase.
