In Sri Lanka. I have to say it has exceeded my expectations up until now. I had a pretty bad lunch while I was in town today but I stopped in a bar and had the Sri Lankan equivalent of sukiyaki. It was pretty good with lots of onions and garbanzo beans. Also breakfast at hotel this morning was okay, an omelette, delicious mango juice and toast. Plus tea, of course. After all, this is Ceylon.
The most interesting factoid I have of Sri Lanka is that this was home to Sinbad the Sailor. Honestly you can hardly be more my idol than Sinbad unless you are Marco Polo.
I have noticed a lot of Christian churches and cemeteries with crosses which surprises me. The missionaries must have decided this was a good place to live and went to work here. There are places that look like Florida in the 50's or 60's. I went thru one place today that reminded me of Daytona Beach on my high school graduation trip in 1967. Some of the fishing villages remind me of Fernandina way back when.
I took a few pictures today but have not loaded in computer yet. I stopped for a beer while waiting for my bus to return to hotel and one thing led to another and now I am a bit too stoned to do it. Haha! I lost password for wifi connection here at the hotel so I have to walk down to lobby before I can log in my computer. So photos to follow...
Looking forward to the pictures. I read a quote some where that said "you should just be yourself...unless you could be a pirate, then you should be a pirate."
