Wildlife and a Rest Day



We took the bumpiest ride of our lives to have a chance to see wild elephants.  Along with way too many other jeeps, alas.  We did spot this gorgeous crested eagle hawk.




And finally a herd of elephants!!



The next day was a well-deserved rest day at our guest house, which had an ayurvedic doctor and massage center.

We enjoyed a lovely conversation with this beautiful man who exuded kindness and compassion.



And found a new bird - name to be discovered one day? 



When our guesthouse manager complained of a sore shoulder I couldn't help it - had to get out my needles.  The next day he said it was all better - and gave us a free dinner!!!! YUM!



We met a great couple and their son from Montreal along the way and have plans to reconnect with them this summer.


So long Habarana.... 


And welcome back to Colombo where our host family got dressed up for a wedding.
