Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a multi-religious society. Today we visited examples of the four major religions in the country.

Muslim - The Jami-Alfar Mosque, also called the Red Mosque. This man was interesting.

Christian – The Wolvendaal Church or the Dutch Reformed Church now renamed the Christian Reformed Church.

Hindu – The Captain’s Garden Temple. Inadvertently we crashed a wedding. The people were very nice to us. Apparently, it is lucky to have strangers celebrate your wedding. These three boys, who had perfect English, made sure we met people and the oldest one wanted to discuss Shakespeare’s plays! This will be a special memory.

Buddhist – The Gangarama Buddist Temple.

We are sailing away from Sri Lanka toward the Seychelles Islands.

We are Don and Ann Barnes. We have had many travel experiences over the years, mostly for work. We are first timers going around-the-world hoping to test out Magellan’s theory. In the past several years we have had close calls with multiple cancers, car accidents, and the likes. These experiences along with Ann’s father’s mantra, “We have never regretted the things we have experienced, only those that we didn’t”, have all brought us to this point in our lives. It is a good time to just do it.
