In the final chapter of Ruwani & Sash’s wedding, in Sri Lanka, we found ourselves at the reception in the middle of traditional Kandy dancers, flipping back and forth, and an entertainment team of singers and performers ready to hit the floor.

This truly, was an affair to remember, with all the wonderful traditional rituals and customs.  After we closed this chapter, we begin a new one, embarking on a picturesque, five day tour of this lovely, lovely country. Everywhere we went, we were warmly greeted by the beautiful, radiant people of the villages.

We had the pleasure of staying at some of the best accommondations the country has to offer. All of which were formally converted colonel edifices, now hotels and bed & breakfasts.  Among other notable sites, we had an unforgettable visit to Sri Lanka’s famous Tea fields in the mountains. High atop the winding roads we drove for hours; Two bus loads of family and friends, bonding with each other and telling funny stories, enjoying the experience.  As expected, it was powerful and quite moving at the same time, And, as usual, the Sri Lankans were quite the hospitable and charming hosts, as they were throughout the entire trip.

Ruth and Bob did a garden run today and here’s a sample of what they got us! Our own little prodigy, who sadly is no longer with us, due to prior commitments made with Ruth to be the base of her famous Peperonata. He’ll be revered and held in high esteem.

Today, our palates were serenaded by one of the most delightful  fish curries of my life time and I wish many of my close foodie friends, were here at the table to share in this epic twinkle. It was an absolute culinary explosion of flavors rolling back and forth on my taste buds like waves on a beach. With each mouth watering bite, followed three levels of mighty experiences, (excitement, orgasmic and euphoria).  To pour the sauce on thicker,  each and every participating ingredient was brought to the table from the lush garden of Ruth & Bob Plitt!

Here is a short clip of our adventures in Sri Lanka this past October! It was the evening before Sash & Ruwani’s wedding and we had just wrapped up rehearsals at the church!

 It seems as though the gentleman from Australia Mr. Cockatoo,  has adopted the posture of a philosopher!

Great Ocean Road!

Here comes part one of Sash & Ruwani’s wedding which took place at one of the most uniquely erected churches in Colombo! Merry Christmas to all, we hope you enjoy the images! We’ll have part two soon to follow.

Today was a another glorious day down in Melbourne! An early morning business meeting at 7am started the day, then it was back to the office for a few hours. Later that afternoon we met Kat, Lorraine and her boyfriend Max, for dinner at Clay Pot! We had two large fish with an assortment of vegetable dishes to start, accompanied by a bottle of champagne. After a tasty dinner, we headed down to the boardwalk in hopes of catching the March of the Penguins from one side of the beach to the other and of course they never showed, with the exception of a few of them here and there, cleverly hiding in between the rocks, probably laughing at us. Nonetheless, we had a sunset!
