A Long Way Around

When ‘Google Earthing’ Sri Lanka’s western province, I thought it strange that we’d never been around the Negombo Lagoon.  We’d flown over it as it is between the airport and the ocean.  So, we had a driver come to the house at 9:00 am.  We took the family’s 3-wheeler out to Ja Ela and half-way to Colombo.  Then we came back on a coastal road.  I find it hard to believe an area so close to Colombo can be undeveloped.  Ocean-front property could probably be had at a price not astronomical.   In Negombo we stopped for a bit of shopping at No Limit, a clothing store.  The Dialog office there did not have USB modems for rent and so it looks increasingly like I may have to eventually find an Internet cafe with WiFi to get these entries online.

Lal and elder sister were already at the house by the time we got here, close to 2:00.  A bottle plus put in in bed about three hours later.  Silly me.  Obviously, I am writing this the following day.
