Ava & Amarapura

The name Ava is a corruption of the Burmese Inwa which means “entrance to the lake.” For today’s excursion, it is a comfortable horse ride on well-worn, un-tarred thoroughfare, lumbering past leafy trees and winding through ancient ruins. Buddhism fills every inch of this country. And as the land takes on a bright orange hue, I begin to think of Burma as the land of perfect sunsets.
