Greetings all....
I have safely arrived in Sri Lanka and it is very peaceful and beautiful where I am. I am just around the southern tip of the island on the east side. Looking out from the beaches there is only ocean between me and the south pole. Ironically the first book I read while here was Endurance......about Shackelton's journey on the ice. It's a great read.
Life in Sri Lanka is pretty wild. This is my frist trip to South Asia or India and what a different world it is here. The driving here is pretty crazy....high speeds, dodging cows, elephants on flatbed trucks being transported toceremonies, bikes everywhere, etc. It just sort of feels like a free for all on the road. Everyone keeps telling me that this is tame and just wait until I go to India.....I look forward to it.
As for the yoga it's great. It is extremely hot and humid here so it makes for a very wet and sweaty practice each morning. There are magnificient beaches here and this morning on our daily swim there was an elephant walking on the beach. What enormous footprints! I hope you are all well and enjoying the holidy season. Much love and blessings from the other side of the earth.
I will update you all more frequently. Life is very slow here and coming to town for email and a meal in town is our big event for the day. Namaste. Jacob

Hi Jake,
WOW - It all sounds so wonderful. If it wasn't so far away I would love to see it all myself.
I thought bumping into a moose one day at Ferry Beach was a sight to see but elephants I cannot even imagine!!
Take care and stay healthy.
Love Mom
Dear Jake: We gathered today to remember Uncle Harry Leinwand with many of the LOUDS: Aunt Mary, your parents, Roseann, Dean and Nicolas, Nancy Rokosz, Eve Soumerai, Jim, Beth, the Larsons, and Katie and Luke and your aunt Simone, of course.....We were at my house.
We wish you were here.....we had a good day, and I hope you did too. Hope you have a healthy and happy new year. How's the meditating coming along? Have been doing quite a bit myself, visualizing healing, but not too attached to the outcome, either way.....trying to work up the courage to face surgery if it's required (again)....
love
Aunt Simone
PS Be careful whenever you leave the resort! We love you. Aunt Mary sends her love, too.
