For some reason I missed this blog
I didn't see this one when published. Not sure how that happened. You are rich in friends and family to have helped you through this time of loss. I'm glad it was a peaceful exit. Your father left you with an open heart and compassion for your fellow man. Supporting this nunnery is an act of kindness. Your friends are wonderful. Thank you for sharing this story.

Frogs
You asked for it--down here in Arequipa, Peru, they boil frogs and make a very popular juice that is supposed to cure everything. I've passed on it as I would the Chewy Junior – Uncle Fat Fried Chicken, but that Ethnic Museum sounded great! Cheers!

nice blog
its a very nice blog... as well as great pics collection... pleasure to read... thanks.... http://gerardsaliot.livejournal.com/521.html

Seeking the Golden Rock Pagoda
If you dream it, it can be done. So happy you've finally made it to a place you dreamed of going. Sounds fantastic. Very cool photos. Thanks for sharing this adventure.

Loving Kindness Everywhere
I always feel so happy and inspired after reading your blog. I love that you practice your Buddhism with challenges as well as being grateful for all the miracles. What an amazing experience you two are having--thanks for sharing!

Can't wait to see Burma
We really wanted to see Burma on our last trip and ran out of time and money. It looks amazing, and I love Sayadaw's comment about the five precepts, just take four of them, honesty is most important and don't try to do too much. That really encapsulates what I love about Buddhism. Thank you so much for sharing! Can't wait to see if you guys make it to Bagan. Please enjoy some fermented tea leaf salad for me!

Watery meanderings
The Buddha barge and the village visits around the lake sound like perfect ways to explore! Again, how lovely to be with your friends who can take you to places tourists often miss, and "Going to sleep to the Dhamma"--it couldn't get better than that! Peace.

Aung San Suu Kyi
Great you saw the great lady at Yangon...and will see her in Sydney. We couldn't get tickets to see her speaking at the Sydney Opera House as the website kept on crashing due to the massive interest and by the time we got back on was sold out.

Happy Buddha!
Since everyone loves the Buddha, I'm sure that was a great compliment! What a magical place--a newspaper named Freedom, kind people, great guides and seeing (and going to see again) one of my heroes, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Looks as if your holiday will last after your return.

Blessings to you....
What a wonderful way to share one's blessings. God bless you more!

Dealing with currency, a way to improve Our Mathematics?
"LobSter", I think we have improved our maths dealing with Kyat, not easy to be the millionaire in this Burma trip, we need to do a lot of conversion that was confusing during the start. Being the Banker, Lorenza had great book keeping and all I can recall was the "number of pieces" of Kyat 5000 currency she passed to our treasurer daily. Thanks everyone, my maths seems to improve after this trip, thansk for all yoru help too :)
