Yangon, Myanmar
This will be a short posting since I just returned from a full day of touring in Yangon and I must wake up in four hours for my overnight excursion by air to Bagan, an archaeological site in central Myanmar famous for 40,000 pagodas (or some such outrageous number). I will be staying overnight at a hotel in Bagan but will probably not be posting again until I return to the ship on Tuesday and we depart for a restful three days at sea.
The Highlight of Yangon was the visit to the Schweadon Pagoda, which is truly astounding. I will attach pictures when I can.
In the meantime just wanted to let everyone know that things are going fine.

At home in Tucson, AZ, since 2005, I live with my partner of over 47 years--and husband of six years--Will Feathers. I grew up in New York City (1947-67), earned my BA from CUNY in 1967 and my PhD in English from Indiana University/ Bloomington in 1974. I served on the full-time faculty of the English Department at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, from 1971 to 2004 (33 years), when I accepted an offer for early retirement. Last year (April 2022), we sold our house and moved into an Independent Living Senior Retirement Community in Tucson, where we have made many new friends.
