Just a few photos from Sri Lanka. To go with the December 23rd, Sri Lanka post.
You did see a lot of these guys!
Curd. A yogurt made from buffalo milk.
Rice and curry. I LOVED eating this so much. Really good food and VERY spicy. I ate rice and curry, or breakfast of noddle hoppers (cold, thin rice noodles) every meal. The boys liked it but it was a bit spicy for L.
Look how big these cashews are! With fresh curry leaves.
One day L and I went for a bike ride and saw this guy.
Really cool delivery truck.
We took a day trip to Sigiriya rock fortress (ruin) on a big rock. Halfway up the rock are these amazing paintings.
The lion gate to the uppermost part of the city.
Typically you have a magnificent view...
I decided I'd trade the view and take the rain rather than navigate these walkways full of tourists. They were kind of scary, you just had to not think about how reliable they may or may not be.
I love this picture of the boys with their dad. The white off in the distant (to Left of L) is a big, white Buddha.
This isn't a great photo but I am including it. This sauce/paste he is holding is amazing. Tomatoes, red onions, lime, salt, and chili. Sounds simple but it was so good. You eat it on top of roti, flat bread which differs depending on the country you are in. His roti were rice and coconut. Our guide's friend told me how to make it. We also sampled oil cakes from this man. He was so nice.
My highlight. The Buddha statues.
Little clay dishes that are filled with coconut oil and a wick is set in lit for the Buddha.
Pool in the rain. We didn't know our first rain-free day wouldn't be the norm.
