Colombo, Sri Lanka
We flew into Colombo, Sri Lanka from Madras (now called Chennai) on February 6, 1994. We didn't know what to expect in Sri Lanka as neither of us knew much about this island country. Sunil had never been there and all I knew about it was what I had studied in my geography classes at school and what I had heard on the news concerning the civil war that was going on at the time between the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tigers in the north.
We were pleasantly surprised. Colombo is a beautiful city with a magnificent waterfront, and the people are extremely friendly and welcoming. This is the view from my room at the Inter-Continental Hotel where we were staying.
