Sri Lanka

June 12, 2012

Arrived here just a few days ago. In my recent email to a friend I say: "I live at a place which borders 1500 acres of protected forest. I no longer need an alarm clock -- shortly after sun rise the birds do just fine. The nature is the king here. Zen. I'm looking forward to exploring a bit of this island. A piece of useless trivia, but Arab traders used to call Sri Lanka, 'Serendib', which gave rise to the word 'serendipity'. 'Nuff said." Oh did I mention that I'm 30 minutes from a beach?

I hope to be here for a few months (and most importantly fix my camera, which decided to quit on me at such an important time in both of our lives).
