A thousand words
There have been far too many exceptional moments during this trip to pick a favorite in any category. The Singhalese people were happy and smiling, liked Americans, respected grandmothers and helped Carmen and I in any way they could.

Anita in Asia (with us)
... to know that it would be the best of the bunch (I mean at least they had heard of safe-keeping facilities!). Our morning trip to the Sacred Tooth Temple was interesting, but dinner that night (after a greasy chip massage) was not - it was appalling, although we did enjoy a spectacular light show over the mountains in the form of a deafening thunder storm.
Then it was off to Nurawa Eliya via a tea ...
