The great Simpson adventure - Day 1

It is a difficult sell to ask anyone to fly to the other side of the planet.  The arduous trip takes at least 24 hours - more than 16 inside one plane or another.  I was pleased Miriam & George agreed to make the trip. 

They were greeted with a nice welcome cake from my Sri Lankan friend Christian.  That evening they met American friends Christine and Dan.  We went to a traditional local restaurant where Miriam decided at the last minute that it might not be a good idea to follow tradition and sit on the floor.

M & G handled the jet lag remarkably well, better than I do on most trips.  My promise is to post each day about the next day of their trip.  Trust me, it gets way more interesting.
