Sri Lankan Village

Today, Lindsay and I went out into a Sri Lankan village that is just outside the campus gates. We took our cameras and were just walking around snapping pictures of different things, animals, and people. We went down this alley that roads the front yards of some houses. There were people outside doing various things and this little boy and his mom are standing fairly close to the road in the back of their house. We say hi and try to communicate with them, again not doing the best job of it, and we start taking pictures of the two of them :) he gets bashful and hides behind his mother and starts giggling.. So far this is the best picture of the trip:

We say goodbye and keep strolling around. Then these two little boys run by with their tires and sticks!! The cutest things I have ever seen. They are laughing and playing and trying to get us to play with and follow them.

We stop to take pictures of these ugly looking goats and when we turn around there is this little boy standing at attention about 15 feet behind us. His dad is looking on and smiling and telling him to stand there for us to take his picture. The dad tells him to go thank us and he comes marching over to shake our hands. I almost died of overwhelming cuteness. When he comes over more people start coming out of their houses another little girl stands at attention and poses for us. Then a mother and child and the boy and girl all pose together. They made my week. We tried to communicate with them and they knew some English but all the Hindi I knew at that time was the alphabet...
