Sri Lanka!! The pendant jewel on the ear of India they say. Heidi and I took a night flight to Sri Lanka where we had planned to travel for a week before Heidi starts her field study on primates in the rain forests there. The first image is just after arriving at the airport. There were these beautiful lantens spread all over the drop off canopy which were awesome!! I like this picture as it characterizes our trip with our noses in our guide book ;)
there is a funny story to the second image. We went to an elelphant orphanage and saw about 70 elephants! part of the visit was to walk down to the river and wait for the herd to come and bathe. Heidi and I were hanging out under a rock near the river when we looked up and saw the herd coming down the same street we had taken!! We were both very, very surprised and scrambled out of the way not wanting our tombstones to read the unthinkable.

The third image was taken after we had just come out of a primordial forest quietly looking for primates in a Sanctuary near Kandy. Much to our surprise there were countless monkeys waiting for us outside of the gates!! so many swinging around and being pests to the parking attendents here. The clever little guys would always look away right when you were about to take their picture.
