Myanmar farm

Sometimes you just want to get away from fellow tourists. Everyone want to feel like they are having a unique experience. I wanted to see rural life. There was nothing organized for this so I discussed with a tour driver. He did some checking and had a friend whose brothers wife  knew a guy who did some work for the son of a farmer who said we could check out his farm. We were delighted.  They were so hospitable and maybe complexed as why we found the farm so interesting.

When we arrived they sat us down, offered us drink and fresh peanuts and honey. It tasted like a yummy peanut brittle.  When I asked where the honey was from they indicated the tree just outside the house. This one farm produced loads of different stuff.
