First Day at St. Benedicts

We are back from our weekend excursion to Kandy and Sigiriya in central Sri Lanka. This past weekend we saw many historical sites including many Buddhist temples. We had the opportunity to compare country life to the urban environment that we landed in last week.
I have tried to upload some pictures (we have hundreds) but so far our efforts have been unsuccessful. The Sri Lankan people have been warm and friendly. We could not ask more of our hosts. They have gone to extreme legnths to make our stay a pleasant one.

The Manhattan College students are now deployed to their assigned classes at St. Benedicts and I am awaiting lunch time where many interesting stories will be exchanged. Our students will be writing blog entries this week as their time allows. That is all for now. Keep looking for more news from Manhattan College in Sri Lanka.
