Thanksgiving Greetings from Sri Lanka

Olga and I were sitting on the beach here in Sri Lanka, as one does in Sri Lanka, thinking about those folks back in the USA and what they are doing today!  Eating turkey, watching football, arguing?  Whatever it is your family does to kick off the holiday season.  Anyway, we thought we would wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and show you a little of what we were doing this Thanksgiving Day.


Drinks on the beach

These coconuts were actually shanked earlier by this guy.  He shimmied up the tree, whacked a few of them down and shimmied down.  No safety harness, no net, just a rope tied between his legs.

The Inn is unique to say the least.  There are only twelve suits and all the bathrooms are al fresco more or less.


This is our bathroom - completely open to the ocean
There is a plunge pool at the end of the steps

Entire back wall is shower completely exposed to the ocean view


This is the main courtyard view from our room.  Note the hammocks - they were well used. 

I think this sums it up!

Relaxing!

So happy Thanksgiving from Sri Lanka and enjoy your turkey.  We will be having Indian Ocean Lobster!
