Beautiful Bagan

Pagodas everywhere. What an incredible site. Not sure if things will change in the future, but currently toy can tour around all the pagodas and climb on them to get great views. There are over 3000 pagodas, big and small, some more beautiful than others. I can't seethe pagodas structural integrity lasting if people are allowed to scale the walls. Anyways while driving our ebikes through the pagodas we came across a young man selling sand paintings. He ended up being our unofficial tour guide. I think he does this for many, but either way we enjoyed his knowledge and company. He even showed us his village, his family, and his home. We were very humbled. They served us tea and peanuts which they grow down by the river. Also invited us to dinner which we had to refuse. Too much to see and do for one day in Bagan. Our hotel was the best. Right on the Irrawaddy River.
