More Pics I hope

I know you are more interested in the pics than the prose so I will try to post as many as I can. I can only do three at a time and it takes forever for them to load. (No whining!)

The "welcoming committee at the pottery village we stopped at while aboard the RV Pandau 1947. They are selling "longhi" the traditional skirts, and other Myanmar souvenirs.


Pearl and Robert presenting the school teacher in Yandabo with the rest of the books she had brought. School was over for the day so there were no children present as at the other village.


This is how they make the pots. The young boy is working the treadle with one foot (and looking a bit put out I might add as most kids would) while Mama molds the pot. She started with a large lump of wet clay and managed to make three pots from the same lump in about five minutes.

Here she is working on the second of the trio



And lest you think they can't get much done that way, look at this sea of pots. And that's just what would fit into my field of vision.


Allow me to introduce you to Eh Neh, so sweet and intelligent looking. What is lurking behind those soft brown eyes?
