 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 |
