That Guy

As I've shared before, my friends always tell me that I'm a very different person overseas, generally much happier and satisfied with life.  Doubtless, it is true, which is why my son will occasionally ask me why I don't just move overseas (and I'm increasingly finding it difficult to come up with an answer which explains why I don't).  Here's a shot from our jeep tour of the Yala Wildlife Preserve in southern Sri Lanka, which I'll talk more about later.  That guy certainly seems happy.

My student John Van Evas snapped this photo as we passed back and forth through the roads, some little more than trails, that make up the nature preserve.  I think we had just seen one of the eighteen elephants we saw.
