Photographs BURMA-MYANMAR 2012, by Cecilia Brainard

I just got back from Burma and Malaysia and will be writing about those visits, but in the meantime, here are some pictures of Burma. Check back for more pictures plus writeup. I had quite an adventure in these two places, including running into a wild elephant in Malaysia. More, later, Cecilia Brainard
