On my first visit to Portland, Oregon I drove east of the city one day to have a look at the much-celebrated scenery of the Columbia River. Pulling off at a view point I saw this group also admiring the view and, having recently returned from a visit to Burma, I knew a monk when I saw one.
A great opportunity available to any traveler to Ceylon is the chance to explore the country’s rich history and extensive archaeology. This post describes my visit to the oldest ancient site in Sri Lanka.
