On the day following Thailand, Theron woke up with a sore throat and for the next two days was down sick. He ate and walked a little, but mostly stayed in the room. Everyone gave him pills and home remedies and he finally felt better by the 15th when we landed in Sri Lanka in the City of Colombo.This was a fun day. We didn’t sign on with a boat tour, just got off the boat and hired a van. The driver took us to a Hindu Temple, a Buddhist Temple, and a Muslim Mosque. We rode a Tuk tuk which is part motorcycle and part golf cart cab. The streets are busy, the culture unique. I love watching all the people and noticing the dress, mannerisms, and just everything about their culture. I have to say that I didn't feel a Christian spirit in the temples. They burn way to much incense and have way to many statues they have to bow to.
The mosque on the right is the red mosque. It is totally red and white and is really quite a site to behold as it sits in the middle of a city block with apartment like buildings on either side.
Transportation is always fun. Take a look at all the scooters and motorcycles. I loved my tuk-tuk ride.
I marveled at the intricate designs, the colors and the opulence of it all.
