Inle Lake - Day 2

Inle Lake - Wednesday, October 16 

We all had concluded that we didn't need to go see the Pagoda festival procession again this morning and so had a later (more welcoming) start of 8:30 am.  Back in our boat named "Destination Asia" we headed to Indien.  On the way we saw one of those fisherman who used the conical nets to catch fish.
We went down a tributary off the lake to Indien.  It was market day there today and so we saw a lot of people walking on the banks of the river carrying their merchandise. Then went through the market again.  Mom, Jilla and I all bought the same red shirt.  There were a lot of mountain Burmese people at the market (they wear black clothes and colorful loosely tied turbans on their heads). I took a lot of photos of people in the market. 
Then we walked to up to see Shwe Inn Dain Pagoda.  The stairways to the pagoda were covered and had white pillars holding up the roof and it was lines with merchants selling "antiques" and other treasures!  These temples were all very close together so we walked around these a while and then headed back to the boat.  We had lunch at Mr.Toe's restaurant and then went back to the hotel.
