Do we have to leave?

Take away meal of Kothu and gingerbeer

We left Trinco and our corner of the world reluctantly.  Feeling the obligatory pull to see more of Sri Lanka, but really we could have just stayed there.  The rhythms of the ocean, playing in the water, napping in the hammock…it was hard to leave.

It is amazing to see how their faces light up with animals.

Sunset on Dutch Bay, not photoshopped I swear!

We visited the Hindu Temple at the top of the hill, an outcropping of Dutch Bay.  I always feel like I have ingested hallucinogenic drugs when visiting Hindu temples.20180406_174513.jpg20180407_120122.jpg20180407_120043.jpg20180406_175427.jpg20180406_195919.jpg

Our favorite take away restaurant, we call it our “GoTo Kothu”.  We went so often that the staff knew us well.  Jack gets a lot of attention here, the Sri Lankans give special attention to boys.
