For the last few weeks I have been traveling around Sri Lanka to finish a memoir I am working on.  For more details on this, please visit Beautiful Eye.  In fact I graduated from high school here in 1993 so I am very familiar with this country.  It’s been an amazing visit here visiting my friends and all the places I went to as a child.  The war is now over and Sri Lanka is growing.  The 1st century temples are still here as well at the 5th century palaces.  You can go on safari’s, climb sacred mountains, and visit remote beaches.  Hopefully one day you too will come and visit this isle of paradise.

Tomorrow I will be in the Maldives which was my Spring Break destination.  Will blog again when I arrive.
