People arrive at Rocky Point and settle into life here very quickly. The yoga, meditation, spontaneous class or workshop, swims, fruit salad, etc. all lure people into a simple life. People intend to visit for a week or two and often stay for a month or two. I've been here about 7 weeks or so already and I've seen it happen multiple times.
Once they've become adjusted to life here people just dig in. So, during the past week I have broken out of the mold and actually left Rocky Point. First I went to a town about 2 hours away with a few folks. More snorkeling and a beautiful secluded beach that you hiked down to. Also had the best food yet.......amazing pineapple curry. Sri Lanka is currently empty of tourists. The violence is keeping people away for sure! I hardly see any other whites...especially where we are.
Also, last night was a big event because we actually go like 14 people to go turtle watching nearby. We saw some big Green Sea Turtles. It was beautiful to watch her crawl up the beach and then listen to her digging a hole for the 100-150 eggs. People were excited and the refuge where we went was on an incredible stretchof beach. They had about 2.5 km of wide sandy beach that had absolutely no development or residential light. It was the nicest stretch I've seen. Five different species of turtle nest here and we saw the most common.
Many blessings to all of you!
