Myanmar Redux, Part 5: Mandalay, then the Sea

 

Early morning at Mandalay flower market.

It was also the final royal capital before Burma's annexation by the British. Even now visual remnants of the British occupation remain throughout Myanmar; here are a few in Mandalay:

After Mandalay, Tammy and I traveled to the seacoast, 

always one of our favorite places in any country that touches the sea.
