Sri Lanka

Dan finally made it home from his work trip to Sri Lanka.

We are so glad to have him back! It helped to have nice neighbors who helped me out without me even asking. Especially with my car problems (no brakes) And my wonderful family who helped me out a lot with the kids. I may have about lost it those last few days but I hope I can be normal again. Dan came home and slept from about 3:30 that afternoon until almost 8:00 the next morning. Talk about one tired guy. He really enjoyed expiriencing the culture there, learning a little bit of the language (most people can also speak English) and he actually enjoyed the food (lots of curry) Here are a few pictures of his trip. They were able to travel around a little bit and see some neat stuff. Dan said it was the most humid place he had ever been. Very hot! But it was a beautiful place. I wish he had taken a nice camera instead of this one we are about to throw away. But I hope you enjoy a little of his trip pictures.
