Back to San Francisco!

I'm quite behind on my blog posts so I thought I'd fast forward to my reflections... More recent updates on Instagram and Facebook.

Hello SF!! What an amazing journey to Sri Lanka. I feel very fortunate I was able to explore the country with ease and meet wonderful people from all over the world. I took every mode of transportation, ate plenty of curry, saw beautiful beaches, elephants roaming free in the wild, crazy jungle monkeys, climbed 650ft to the top of an ancient rock palace dodging hornets, saw magical UNESCO Buddhist ruins, went river rafting where a 1957 Oscar winning movie was filmed, experienced Ayurveda massage and cycled through lush green paddies. I completed my visit by contributing my graphic design skills to the launch of a non profit for girls empowerment and education - Malini Foundation which inspired this entire adventure. A trip well done if I do say so myself! And I wonder why I'm paralyzed with jet lagged!? Time for a nap,lol.

Kitulaga

Located in the wet zone rain forest, Kitulgala gets two monsoons each year and is a very wet place. I experienced the rains first hand during a hike which went from dry to wet within an hour. Some fun trivia was the Academy Award winning film The Bridge Over the River Kwai was filmed here in 1956. River rafting was a huge highlight, loved it!!
