Horton Plains

We spent 4th of July weekend in Nuwara Eliya in Sri Lanka's Hill Country, where this sunset photo was taken. On the 5th we visited Horton Plains National Park, then continued on to Belihuloya, where we spent Saturday with some students who take part in an Embassy sponsored English Language Access program.

We also visited nearby Baker's Falls. It was our first weekend outside of Colombo for a while, and the cool weather and change of scenery was refreshing.
