4. Smiling faces... everyone was so incredibly friendly, always smiling and eager to help. From the kind uncle who provided shelter from the rain to the motorcycle guy who followed us to the Galle fort to make sure we didn't get lost – it wasn't just that weather that was super warm.
3. Gorgeous beaches... a 630 am barefoot stroll along the beach was the best time to see early am surfers catching the waves and the beautiful, trash-free coastline.
2. Casinos! ...after losing 4000 Sri Lanka Rupees (roughly 2000 Indian Rupees) in about 10 minutes, a few "complimentary drinks" later and 4+ hours later, I managed to come out ahead...winning a total of...wait for it...300 Indian Rupees. Believe it or not.
1. Stuffed Rotis! ...I could probably eat a stuffed, fried roti everyday for the rest of my life. Veg or non veg, these rotis were the staple diet of our 3-day mini vacay from reality.
