Yesterday was Rest Day, which we spent touring the Botanical Gardens
and sightseeing in Kandy. There, we saw a magnificent garden with thousands of what are to us

When we were done, the local teachers gave us afternoon tea. It was a gesture of thanks from them. The new ESL teacher, a local woman, told us that her classes
averaged 40 students. Foreigners, much less tourists were seldom seen, but they
felt learning English might be a good start to change that.
Here, we see children demonstrating an act of respect to the (foreign) elders:
