Cuba - a return visit

We so enjoyed our taste of Cuba last February, we decided to come back with friends and expand our reach beyond Havana. We'll share what we found when we get back state side in early March.

In the meantime, here are some pics from the Havana we found in 2011.

Myanmar - Temples, Smiles, Tanakar and "skirts"

Although we didn't know what to expect from Burma, it still amazed us. Yangon, until recently the capital of Myanmar, modern and spotless. The gilded spires of often countless Buddhist temples can be seen in the most isolated places. Smiles abound from old and young with a greeting of "Megunlaba". Sandalwood "tanakar" paste decorates and protects from the harshest sun. "Longyi" skirt like sarongs, are the most common attire of both men and women. And this is just the beginning.
