Day 31: Yangon

-Breakfast at the hotel before heading out to the Shwedagon Pagoda. It started pouring when we were there. We drove past the Lady’s house and the US Embassy. We couldn’t go into the Lady’s house and couldn’t see much. The guide thought we would want to go into the US embassy for some reason, but we were ok. I don't know what we would really do there. The new embassy is very close to the Lady’s house.

-Then we went over to the Reclining Buddha to take a look around. Then went to Kan Daw Gyi Lake to walk around and look at Karaweik Palace, which is an expensive place to go for dinner.

-We then went to take a look at Sule Pagoda in downtown Yangon.  Then drove to the wholesale vegetable market, which was not a touristy place. We got a lot of stares there, but it was amazing to see.
