Just a few thoughts and more pictures

Sunday night here in Kandy, Sri Lanka as I write this...We are enjoying some just plain tourist time at the end of a hectic week visiting World Concern projects. So much to see in this little country and so much to process and take in. My impression is that it is a country with so much potential to be more then it is.

So sad to see the toll of so many years of not only civil war but natural disasters such as the tsunami and the more recent floods. We have had many many hours staring out car windows as we drive from place to place and I can't really describe the scene. So chaotic, high energy, colorful places and busy people and really crazy drivers swerving around the people, cars, buses and scared cows that are everywhere!

Really stunningly beautiful scenery and really heartbreaking conditions of some of the people. I am so glad we got to visit some of the many beneficiaries of World Concern projects because we were also able to see hope as well; one situation at a time.Hope of a better life because of a new cow, the money to insure an education or an icemaker for fisherman to help earn a living.

We will continue to sight see through Wednesday then will move on to Bangkok and to be reunited with Jessica! The kids are well and are taking everything in stride and taking everything in. Please enjoy the pictures because they say more then my inadequate words ever could.
