Bago

An 80m budda in Bago. This reclining buddha blew the doors off of Wat Pho in Thailand. More buddhas in Myanmar... for one of the poorest countries in the world, it is really hard to come to terms with the fact that the people find it in their hearts/wallets to donate the money to build such amazing structures.
Golden rock, just outside of Bago. Another monumnent the people plaster with 'gold leaf'.

Jillene wasn't able to go near the Golden Rock - no women allowed - so she had to settle for this smaller substitute!
We visited a monestary in Bago, an this was the rooms in which the monks slept. The mats on the floor were their beds.
