| I’m back in Sri Lanka, and for the first time Avi has come along. We are having a great time, and I’m enjoying sharing my favorite places and things with her. We are now in Kandy, the main city in the highlands. It’s a very lively place, and I always find it exciting. Yesterday we took a walk around the beautiful lake in the center of town. On the way we saw a couple of kabaragoyas, Asian water monitors. This one was several feet long. There were also turtles sunning themselves on the rocks and a troop of toque monkeys playing along the shore. After walking around the lake we visited the Dalada Maligawa, which is the most important Buddhist shrine in the island. Finally, we had a delicious lunch of South Indian food. Altogether a wonderful day! |
