Yesterday we arrived in Bagan (Pagan) which is a old town with about 3,000 Pagodas and temple built around 1250 AD. It's a valley about 20 miles log and was abandoned when the Mongolians invaded. It was in disrepair from weather, time and recent earthquakes, but starting in the 1980's, began it's restoration as a tourist destination. Some temples were just repaired and very simple brick, but a few have a very special spiritual feeling to them. We visited one of those yesterday and sat in Mediation for a while across from it. I'm off on my own today while the group does a mediation retreat for half a day. I wanted time to myself to visit the local museum and do some photography. Thanks for reading about my latest adventure...
