We left Vancouver at 1:30 pm on Tuesday, and got to our hotel at 2:30 am Thursday Sri Lanka time...ugh. Almost 18 hours flying, less than an hour to change planes in Hong Kong (checked bag with toiletries didn't make it), 5 movies, 22 scotches, 5 glasses of wine, 37 meals, 212 trips to the bathroom...and all the while my trusty sidekick Casstonto is in my ear saying that now that she is on the board of directors at her golf club, wearing her headdress is unbecoming a director! I thought Cassmembo would be a good name...she came up with a bunch of lawyer stuff about how nobody would know what the hell that meant...so other than PATIENT, what do you think a good sidekick name would be?
So after sort of sleeping for a few hours, we went down to have some breakfast and saw this...
...I thought I'd crawled down the rabbit hole...hmmmmmm. Breakfast was really good...with good old whatshername...
...a little way away was this cute little girl sitting with her parents (we later met them...really nice locals)...
...and because we are right on the water, the local dredger came by for a dig...
Did I mention...IT'S HOT HERE...I'M SWEATING...THE AC IS ON...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...just like where you are I'm sure...hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Anyway, enough being a dick...we went for a walk and saw a few things...
...and this nasty bird that kept swearing at me in Sri Lankan...
...well I told him some things he'd never heard before I'll tell ya! Right under that stinky little bird was this really nice flower...
...and because we head out tomorrow on some train, we went to the train station to get a ticket...
...and just like those damned Russians, the damned bird was there...see him hiding in the rafters...
...I think this is sort of like the train we'll be on tomorrow...
...and just like Hong Kong last year where we saw a tree growing right out of a wall, here was another one!
Now you tell me...I think this is kinda weird...my unnamed sidekick saw this sign and made me immediately put on a condom...WTF?
Colombo is 5 million people...there's lots of construction...
...and lots of old buildings left over from a bunch of non-beer making tools...
Oh, and that's another thing...we just get here, and they throw some stupid election...like for president or something, and I can't buy any beer!!! That almost pushed me over the edge I tellya!!! Did I mention it's beautiful and warm here!!!! hahahahahahahaha So we went to the pool...hahahahaha...
...YA BABY!!! Just a bunch of old fatties (like us) runnin' around, but some nice pots...
...and this little hottie next to the pool!
I have forwarded your blog to my associate, John. He is Sri Lankan and will track your movements through your pictures. Hint: that wasn't a bird... it's a Sri Lankan drone. His reports will be sent to the proper authorities.

ReplyDeleteTWO COMMENTS!!! Damned near a record! The bird is a drone according to Jurassic, sent by the Gastonguay-Beaudry's...TLD groupies we thought we lost in Vietnam...I guess we didn't give them the shake. I think you should send Mingus over to settle things down here. There has been a change of government today, and we are here to keep the free world informed! You're welcome.
