Our last stop in Myanmar was a place called Inle Lake. The towns are pretty nondescript, but the lake itself is stunning. One day we hired a boat driver to take us out on the lake to see the sights (with a request to avoid the touristy market).
We saw people doing traditional work, from fishing to silver working and weaving.
The rest of our time in Inle Lake we spent in our guesthouse in Nyaung Shwe. We were due for a business day, the breezy, open common area was very comfortable, aaaaand we got sick (to varying degrees; Ruby had it easiest). It was bound to happen eventually, and we were able to take the time to rest that we needed.
