gently flows the Airawathi

Transition from a developed Myanmar to an untouched part, was glaring.
Vehicles, concrete buildings or towering Pagodas were absent.
Mighty Airawathi meandered into our sight, winding it's way beneath large wooden houses that stood on stilts.
It's residents bathed in the river by the dozens.
The entire town had a handful of 2-storied concrete buildings.
Our guest house was one of them.
