The internet is working in Yangon (formerly Rangoon), Burma, so here are a few photos from some of the places we’ve been during last week’s internet-less world. Eventually I will write something about this country but it is overwhelming right now–the ancient temples and pagodas, dirt-poor villages and wealthy parts of Yangon, elderly women with facial tattoos and monks with cell phones. Where to begin? I have to think about it but meanwhile….some unedited photos.

A tattooed woman from the Chin tribe. This custom is dying off with her generation.
Baby from a village near Mrauk U. The paste on his face is sun protection.
A monk at Shwedagon Pagoda, Yangon, Burma. We are laughing because we had to stand so close together for the photo.
