Some Sri Lanka pictures

Navigating through Colombo in an auto-rickshaw




Gorgeous view, but junkie rip-off hotel with bed bugs and mosquito infestation. Sadly, we didn't have much time to enjoy the beach here.




Elephant Crossing. I love this sign!


And the elephant really did cross and march down the street to the river for their "bath time."

The Elephant Orphanage in Kandy, Sri Lanka. Since the elephants are pretty much domesticated you can go right up to them. Amazing but weird creatures.





Elephant Dung Paper is one of the specialty products available here. We got to see the process in action and they really do take the dung, boil it, dry it, and make paper. The paper is really expensive for being made out of dung!


Happy and so relieved to finally have our Indian visas stamped in our passports!!!
