Take the early train |

Seriously |
Winding through the hills |
The Temple of the Tooth |
The inner temple |
The door to the inner temple |
Not allowed to take any pictures of the tooth, (which no one believes is there anyway), so I wandered out back |
The temple is a complex of buildings set on a hillside |
Monkey |
More monkeys |
Nice little fountain |
|
Detail of the paintings on the temple of the tooth |
More detail |
I believe it is my intense laziness that makes me identify with the reclining buddha |
Nasty little varmints |
Nice tree |
Part of the complex |
Christian monkeys |
What the hell do you want from me? I just gave you like 8 bananas? |
Never got the gumption to climb up to that Buddha |
Kandy Lake |
Nice house |
Stupid guy |
Dealer in sundries |
Daughter of dealer in sundries |
Mother of dealer in sundries |
Window shopping bovine |
Twins |
Kandy Lake |
A school of Buddhist studies |
I was assured this guy is purely decorative |
Commerce |
Self-timer, temple of the tooth |
Frescoe frag at a museum under construction |
Kandy mosque |
Sometimes you just want to kill yourself: she's taking a nap on a tire |
Tuk-tuks |
I wandered down an alley and came across this clan |
This one liked my shades |
This girl was playfully tempting me to do more than smile flirtatiously/lustfully at her |
So I took a couple steps toward her and she fled. I mean, she took off. |
The clan got bigger and bigger |
One had Down's syndrome |
Another family |
Market |
And then I went to see the elephants |
Young'n |
You see these these big lumbering things |
and you wonder about |
natural selection |
and how it could only have been through social organization |
that they could have survived |
Especially with lunatics like us running things |
This guy makes sure no one gets mauled, like Chuckles the Clown |
Nice profile |
Nursing |
|
|
This baby was the official one to be "encountered" |
You wonder what they all think when we all grow bored of the novelty and get back on the air-con Hyundai's |
He liked getting his ears scratched |
Dopey-assed tourist |
In early infancy, elephants look exactly like German shepherds |
