Colombo is Sri Lanka largest cultural center. Colonized by Portuguese followed by Dutch then the English who named Ceylon until they became independent in 1972 Today modern skyscrapers adorned the city with historic architecture. Taking a break from modern transportation the three-wheeled Tuk Tuk is the main way of traveling through the city’s. Gangaramaya Temple for Buddhist worship and religious learning.
Love the pictures dad, especially the one with you and the elephant!
I agree with Patrick. The pics are fabulous! You look pretty good too. Beautiful country.
So, Yvon, what are you learning from all the new places you are visiting?
I learn more on the ship, we have lots of lecture about the place we are visiting, but let’s face it at my age if I retain 5 to 10% that’s good going on excursions we are mostly experiencing a quick glance at the city site.
Learn mostly about the history back in the 1450 and the occupation from Chinese to Dutch French and English, but now they have their own Government and they can vote. As I said the few people we have the occasion to speak with they at least project happiness.
