Dear Bobe’ -
Yesterday, I was determined to hang out on my beach front porch and update all the blogs from Burma. My determination (and quite likely my environment kept me inspired) came through and I have posted four new blogs so start at the bottom and work your way up. The first one you should read is “They Call It Myanmar, I Call it Burma”.
I am looooooovvvving Sri Lanka. Seriously, words cannot explain or do this place justice. Kind of had a scary experience the other morning when we got woken up at 0230 for a Tsunami evacuation. We gathered important stuff and headed up the road to a church (there are a ton of Catholics here thanks to the Portuguese). Luckily, the 7.7 earthquake in Indonesia did not produce a Tsunami so after a about an hour and a half we were free to return home. I will say that the system the government put in place after the 2004 disaster works really good. It’s an automatic SMS text message sent from various disaster watch areas around the country. I asked the guys how many they’ve received since the system has been put in use and they said they’ve been notified three other times, but that this one was the most critical and serious one. I would’ve cried if I had to witness the destruction of what has become my oasis. Oh gosh, so much to share and YOU have so much to share too. So fill me in. I feel so out of touch and I don’t like. I hate finding you put in a bid for a house through momma Sherry’s FB status updates and I know nothing of the sort. It’s ironic you turning a 360 into domestication and I’m thinking of living the rest of my life on an island making beautiful Sinhalese, Mexican, German mix babies. More on that later…
Love you. Miss you.
