Well, this may very well be my last post from Sri Lanka. It's sort of a mixed feeling. On one hand:




1. I won't be eating rice twice a day, everyday




2. There's a 0% chance there will be a giant spider in my bathroom




3. I get to see all of my friends and family








On the other hand:




1. I won't get delicious roti, tender jak curry, and delectable fresh fruits




2. I won't see so many elephants and monkeys




3. I have to leave my friends and family here








The list could be longer on both accounts. Basically though, I'm really looking forward to being home, but I've had so many amazing, life-altering experiences here that I'm really going to regret leaving. As I told my Amma, it's like going to a big city that's far away in order to see an amazing performance. It's full of thrills and chills, music and flashing lights, and other amazing, wonderful things. At the end of the day you're so glad you went, but when you fall into your own bed that night...you're also really glad to be home. That's how I feel.


And now, as promised: Pictures!


Sri Pada (AKA Adam's Peak)


The Nuwara Eliya area

And thanks to Paige for this one


I'd post more, but really, these images can only give a glimpse of life here. I'm really, really grateful for being able to come. Thanks for reading everyone!
