Happy New Year!


Left foot, Left foot
Right foot, Right.


Feet in the morning.
Feet at night.
Left foot, Left foot, Left foot, Right.


Wet foot, Dry foot.
High foot, Low foot.

Isaiah 52:7
 ¶ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

 

 

Having fun after English class with bubbles!

 

Ended the the first day of the year with Fruit & Nut ice cream with strawberries. Yummy!
Wearing my new Christmas shirt from Brother Anada. It is the Sinhala alphabet.
A GREAT DAY!

A Long Train Ride Home to Kandy!


Today we spent some time with the Colombo Branches. It was fun to see some friends from Colombo. Caught the 3:35 train back to Kandy.

 



You know it's going to be a long train ride back when you have been on the train 15 minutes and you are ready to be done!

 

 
So you start taking silly pictures!

 

 
We weren't able to get first class tickets this time.


So this is our AC. (A fan)


And an open window!


Trying to sleep!

 
Picture of our canollis and water.


We were about an hour away from Kandy when the train stopped.
We had to wait an hour until an engine came to pull us in.
It really ended up being a long ride home.
Good visit but glad to be home

Botanic Gardens Hakgala!


Heading back to Kandy we stopped at a few places.
First stop, Botanic Gardens.
Some very pretty gardens.

 

 

 

 

 

Trees are over 100 years old. Workers are planting new flowers for Spring in April.


 

 






Loved the beautiful area and the cool winter.
Next are pictures of some of the flowers.

 
Couldn't resist taking a picture of someone's slippers.

 

 

 




Just a few of my favorites!


Next we visited the New Zealand Farms.






 


Saw lots of cows!




Goats!


And Rabbits!






We also visited the highest peak in Sri Lanka!
Lots of military making sure everything was secure.

 


Lunch stop for Sri Lankan buffet.
Dessert was jelly (Jello) and custard.


Ended the day stopping at fresh vegetable stands to buy some produce.
Then at a strawberry farm to get strawberry shakes and fresh strawberries.
It was a great little get away and we thank Brother Upal for driving us and taking us to some fun places!
