Sri Lanka is sensational – vibrantly green and lush countryside, intriguing villages and cities, endlessly appealing food and fabrics, kind and welcoming people.  I need some Sri Lanka time each year.

It’s been a dream since my first trip to Sri Lanka – to circumnavigate the island nation.  Not by boat – that would be someone else’s dream.  I am driving, and my dear friend Annie is navigating.  Actually, it’s not a proper circumnavigation all around the outer edges, it is an oddly-shaped exploration of middle and the edges of Sri Lanka – some beaches, some mountains, lots of temples.  There will be lots left for the next trip, but for February 2019,  this is the plan.

I have had such wonderful experiences in Sri Lanka

• the vibrant contrasting colors
• the entertaining train to Galle
• good times in 2018

Great memories already, and I plan to make many more!
