Returning to Colombo

We returned to Colombo on Sunday afternoon. We were not sure what to expect however the city seemed calm and traffic was light. We were not stopped or searched as we drove through the city. I am getting used to the Colombo and it seems less confusing and chaotic.

Today is the funeral of the Foreign Minister. Schools have been closed due to the anticipated traffic congestion however Rob left for work at the usual time.

I am laying low today, reading, working on my blog, and catching up on emails. Later I will walk to the gym for my first appointment with my personal trainer. I sense another Bridget Jones moment pending as a) this is that first time I have worked with a trainer, b) I have only been in this country 4 days, c) people have difficulty understanding my English d) I have trouble understanding the English that is spoken here and e) there is heavy equipment involved. Wish me luck!
