Kalutara

The Beach!!!

 

Atamma (grandma) and Hashan near the beach

We went to the town of Kalutara, to see this Buddhist temple and to swim. This temple was huge.
In this picture we are inside of a giant dome. This day was "Poya" a monthly Buddhist
holiday, so the temple had many people inside praying.

We decided to stop for lunch before we hit the beach. Lucky for us, the hotel we ate at had a pool.
The water there was almost too warm- all heated by the sun.

Raja's parents and older brother came with us. They watched as we swam.

Yummy!

Hashan and I jumped in too! As hot as it was, I forced myself to stay as covered up as possible
it definitely paid off- I didn't get sunburned once!

This was Hashan's first time swimming- ever! He loved it!
