I am sooo reluctant to write this, but on day 2 of my 3 day solo trip I have to say it has been a blast.
I paused for at least a minute before deciding not to erase that last line. I don't believe in tempting the gods on things like, "Wow, that was fantastic!" just before getting robbed and losing my passport.
Today I got to feed an elephant bananas. She wrapped her trunk around my arm that was one part scary and three parts cool. Later I fed monkeys that were more than happy to have me husk the fruit for them.
The downside? Eight hours of harrowing traffic. I had a driver I trusted completely yet there were many times I had to simply shut my eyes and do the Serenity Prayer.
Correction: Mommy Dearest! (I don't need wire coat hangers thrown at me the next time I come home. For those in the dark, look up the movie... it is the favorite mother-son movie for me and my Mommy Dearest.)
ReplyDeleteI got rid of all the wire coat hangers, my Sonny Dearest.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen any areas of Sri Lanka that were affected by the tsunami?
ReplyDeleteI was on the other side of the island. The east side was hit by the tsunami. From what I've read it is more poor and agricultural than the west side I was on (which seemed poor enough). - Steve
ReplyDeleteI think Joan Crawford did a bit more than throw them.
