Christmas Snapshot


I was driving in Sri Lanka. We had already driven for three hours, and I was getting tired of it. In Sri Lanka The roads were so bad that even if things were only a few miles away it would take you hours to get there. Kandy was 50 miles away from our hotel, but it took a six hour drive to get there.


We came to an intersection when we noticed something holding us up. Before there had been many cows in the road so we expected a herd of cows. Sitting up in my seat I inspected the road for the hold up. I noticed that there were about fifty goats lounging around in the street.


We could do nothing but laugh and laugh until they finally retreated about five minutes later, and we were free to drive again. Our drive ended a few hours later. At least we had a great story to tell about our interesting trip in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
After we finally got to our hotel in Kandy, I sat in my room and watched D.V.D's for a really long time. it was nice to sit in a bed, instead of sitting in a car. I had over 48 hours of Will and Grace on D.V.D, so i just watched it for hours.
That night we drove a few minutes to a temple, in down-town Kandy. This Temple was a temple that Buddha was supposed to have visited himself, during his lifetime. Inside a golden casket there is a relic of one of his teeth. We listened to the stories in the temple and took pictures. Afterwards we went shopping for a bit.
A few days later we left Sri Lanka to come back to K.L. We had many stories to tell, and many pictures to show people. We had had a great time in Sri Lanka. :)
