Umbrellas and Coconuts

Thoughts of my summer in Sri Lanka continue to crowd my thinking. Umbrellas and coconuts--thats the Sri Lanka I'm remembering tonight.

Umbrellas--to keep out the sun, to keep out the rain.

Coconut--to keep in the sambols.

The umbrellas are SO ubiquitous they should be used for advertising--I'm surprised no one has gotten to that yet. The coconut too is everywhere, it is enshrined in the palate.

Since I'm getting all nostalagic about the umbrellas and coconut, I do so want to feel them near me again.
