More on Kalaw

Haney again - OK, we are in Bangkok about to fly to Chiang Mai so we figured we'd better make progress on our photos of Myanmar now.  So here we go.  We'll start back in Kalaw.

An all-day trek through the countryside to two hill villages:  Palaung and Danu tribes.  76-year-old JP Barau was a great guide.  A couple from Croatia were along, too.

Typical house, with woven bamboo walls.
Lunch in a home in the Palaung village.  Women were spinning and weaving.
