I have to admit; it sure seems nice to kick back with my shoes off this evening. I was just looking through an actual paper magazine called travelsrilanka. In fact, I'm featured in this very issue. Well, not me exactly, rather a photograph of mine is featured. It was chosen by the staff as they found it on Flickr. On that site, I do have hundreds of pictures of Sri Lanka as we returned in 2004 and 2006 for month-long visits. Yet, I first went to the island in 1986. Interestingly the picture they chose was an old scan from a cheap camera well before the invention of digital ones.
Things do continue to develop in spite of the war that seemingly has no end in sight. In the glossy pages of the magazine was an advertisement for a whole, enormous apartment complex being built right in Colombo city. Such ambitious plans for the little island amaze me.
