Happy Birthdays!
At last my BF is back (thought he was suppose to be back sooner, but I was mistaken…)!! Before we had left on our separate trips, R and I agreed to celebrate our birthdays using a voucher for my subscribing to The National newspaper, but we ended up waiting until he returned to AD. At…

“Lord of the Dance”
When I was living in NYC, I went to see “Riverdance” another performance by Michael Flatley. I love to watch any form of dance, but especially like Irish dancing and music. The unfortunate part of seeing the performance in Radio City Music Hall was that I couldn’t see their feet move since the seats were…

34 years ago…
I was awaken this morning by my awesome parents who called to wish me a Happy Birthday. THANK YOU! 😀 It’s hard to believe I’m 34 today. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been in my family for 26 years! It’s hard to believe I’ve still got friends for the same amount of time. Truly,…

Summer days in AD
So, it’s Day 5 (why do I count days…?) of 10 to be spent in AD before I head back to the States for the summer. I feared being a little bit bored since almost all of my friends have fled the country and my BF will be gone until this weekend. Though I had…

Sri Lanka: Day 2/Night 3
Having rested up, we were out early to beat the Colombo morning rush-hour traffic to make our way towards Kandy. We drove for about three hours straight passing lots of green views of the land until we got to the Pinnewala Elephant Orphanage. The elephants were so cute and I could have watched them play…

Sri Lanka: Day 1/Night 2
Despite our tired state and plans to eat breakfast, then nap before our city tour, C and I ended up chatting in the restaurant for a few hours and never got our naps…. Unfortunately, that meant that when Anton took us on the city tour of Colombo, we missed much of it being so sleepy…

Sri Lanka: Night 1
A friend from work and I decided to try out traveling together as we’re both semi-single women who like to travel, but aren’t always comfortable traveling on our own. So, we decided to take our first trip together for a few days at the end of term and before she had to begin summer school…
