We took a short trip today to a beach resort, Blue Water, at Waduwa (an hour south of Colombo) to celebrate Vibrant Bea's 12th birthday tomorrow quietly. We decided to keep it simple this year since we feel like our energy has been sapped by our ongoing preparation for our departure. It is a short getaway from it all but we will be back Saturday afternoon.

Almost sunset. Relaxing by the poolside, the beach (Indian Ocean) can be seen from this point.
That's Fuzzy, running at the other side of the pool.
