Deb and I said good bye to Sri Lanka yesterday morning. I have been trying to post photos of the work we did there, but you can view it at www.tripca.org as posting to the blog seems to be a problem right now.
We arrived in Trivandrum yesterday morning...and our hotel which is setting us back about $10/night (which is a little expensive actually) has a tv with several movie channels. So instead of exploring which would have been too much work in this heat, we plunked ourselves down and watched 4 hours of tv. How heavenly is that? Now don't go thinking we are staying at the ritz. Our room might have a tv, but it doesn't have sheets on the bed, towels or toilet paper. It is pretty basic. My friend Ben in Thailand sent us photos of his new house there and Deb and I almost went right out to teh airport and booked our ticket there because his place looks so nice.
What can I tell you about Trivandrum other than it is HOT, busy, and dirty. Not the most appealing discription I am sure but both Deb and I are holding back judgement on it until we have had the chance to explore it a little more this afternoon. First order of business is to get our Indian cell phone working, check out the train station and then do some sight seeing.
We are both craving some good home cooked meals right now. The last thing I want is another plate of rice. But while we are in southern india I am not sure we will find much else. So as you all sit there eating spaghetti, pizza, steak...heck I would even take a burger; think of us...eating more curry.
