Those of you that read my Travel Tales blog will know that at the moment I am posting about a trip to the beautiful and interesting country of Myanmar. The people are very friendly and I added many people portraits to my collection. Today for Faces on Friday I feature another portrait from Myanmar, a Monk at the Shwedagon Pagoda. This lovely smiley gentleman approached my daughter and me, as Westerners we soon discovered that the Monks love to chat and use their often excellent English. We had a long chat to this one and he was more than happy to pose for us. If you are interested in seeing more photos from my trip, do please consider following Travel Tales

You have to love that smile! I enjoyed looking at all your photos of Myanmar and Burma. Such a different world from where we live here in Kansas. The administrator from our son's old high school was also in charge of a school in Burma. His daughter lives there and married someone from there. They always had some sort of activity going on at the high school to raise money for the Burma school.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your tour immensely! Have a good weekend Linda!
Thanks Lisa, makes it more interesting when you have a connection like this. It is such a beautiful and special country, I hope you will enjoy the rest of my tour over the coming months.
DeleteThis is a super photo Linda. What a gorgeous smile :-)
ReplyDeleteI have not told you that my daughter in law is from Burma, came to the States with her family in the early eighties. Everyone speaks perfect English, having gone to English schools back then, often run by Catholic nuns.
ReplyDeleteSince she has not returned to Burma, I will send her your link for updates. Thank you so much for such rich expositions.
How wonderful, I understand from reading and speaking to people we met whilst travelling that many families left for the States in the eighties and it is only recently they have been able to return at all. I do hope your daughter in law will find my posts interesting.
DeleteA warm genuine smile.
ReplyDeleteWell taken.
Oh doesn't he look so happy.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful smile! I love his colorful wrap, too. Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo, Lindy! You were able to get so many great shots of people in your travels! By the way, I forgot to say, those sheep are so sweet!
