First 100 days in Sri Lanka

We have just completed 100 very eventful days in our rebirth in Sri Lanka. Something happens every day. A monkey get burnt on electrical wire, a wild boar digs the yard or a cute stray puppy appears at the door step!

I have made slow progress in my work, hoping to offer a new course in May and starting research work. We are settled temporarily in campus quarters and preparing to build a house. This is exciting but progress is slow.

We fondly recall all our friends in Davis, more so at ex-Davis get-togethers. I miss bicycle rides, Home Depot and Frys. Renuka misses her colleagues at Applegate. We both miss ‘Bunni’ the cat and of course the kids!

We were at Koggala beach in the South recently. Hundreds of sea urchins that disappeared from our beaches a while back have reappeared after Tsunami.
