#67 I’m all set for my trip to Sri Lanka

Where am I? Still at the University Hospital in Ponnekara, Kerala, leaving early tomorrow morning for Sri Lanka

How am I? I’m doing great. I even got my Boarding Pass printed out so I’m set for tomorrow morning.

My Buddhist friend came through for me. My Dear Good Friend Upala sent me his full name and the address to use so he could be my reference for the Indian Visa. He doesn’t have a phone number but I just typed in None and it worked.

There’s a big festival going on in Sri Lanka and you can watch it in same time! I’m watching it now. As my parents would say, “I’m glad I’m not having to pay the electricity bill!” All the buildings must have thousands of lights on them.

Now if you go and look remember the time difference because there may be nothing going on if it is 6:00 a.m. It’s 8:00 p.m. for me right now and I’m not sure if there is a time difference between India and Sri Lanka or if it’s the same time. But it has dancers and drummers in some kind of parade. People are sitting watching it go by.

I wonder if the Boy Scouts who just walked past the camera know they are being seen all over the world?! The festival will be going on until I leave so I’ll see how it impacts me. I have never seen elephants so dressed up like this, with electric lights on them!

I think it must be an “auspicious” time because I hear fireworks going off outside. That means there are weddings or other occasions for celebrating and usually that doesn’t happen unless the astrology says it’s a good time. If they are having a festival in Sri Lanka, I think it must all tie in together.

My Biorhythms are looking real good. I also found out from the website that I am 23,306 days old. I didn’t know that. If you want to check yours, go to http://www.bio-chart.com/ It’s free.

I’m going to close now and relax for the rest of the night. I have to get up early tomorrow, like 5:00 a.m.
I am bringing my computer so if there is wifi available, I’ll be in touch. Otherwise, you’ll hear from me when I get back.
Love,
Marie
