Escape From The Rain

This is why we came south. We knew they had sky in Sri Lanka, we just hadn't seen it in days.


Effects of the tsunami are still around in many places.

We had three delightful homemade meals at the "home", guest house room, of our friends Ivan from Switzerland and Jini from Portugal. Manfred from Germany also escaped the rainy north, and we were reunited.

"He came in through the bedroom window..."
We sang this over, and over, and over again. In fact, we are still singing it. We are very funny. So we think.

Outside the honeymoon suite at the Coppenrath in Tangalla. Bliss. With a few mosquitos.

Our latest cruise ship.

The only jellyfish in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lankan kindness at work.

Sri Lank is so unexpectedly expensive, Kate has had to find work as a manicurist. Naw, don't be silly, just hanging out with my new friend Savidi. Please note the lovely scrunchie, bracelet, and necklace she dressed me up in.

This is an alms day meal in honor of a grandfather who passed away four years ago today. This is our friend Ravi, the brother of Kumar who we met swimming at the beach in Galle. We are pretty sure we have been adopted, and we are very happy about it. We have been shown the amazing Sri Lankan hospitality, and are very grateful. In fact, we are very full in general. They have stuffed us with large quantities of delicious food.
