That very trivial action has ended up being the foundation for today's entry in my eJournal and images. An advantage to having so many thousands of pictures on Flickr, is I seldom need to look beyond my own images to find one that can accompany a blog entry. The word images has, after all, always been a part of the name here. After typing in a search for "tea", I noticed photos of tea in cups. Yet this one seemed more able to provide a background story.
This was taken on our 2006 trip to Sri Lanka. Between the months spent there in 2004, 2006, and 2009, we've crisscrossed pretty much the entire country. There are so many reasons to feel affection towards that island. Stunning geography from jungle to dry zone and from beach to mountain can certainlly be one of them. Of course, the country's former name of Ceylon is synonymous with tea and that name is right on this teabag's label. Maybe some of its contents came from this very plantation.
