📜 Meeting the Artists of Ambalangoda
In a tiny workshop in Ambalangoda, we watched as craftsmen carefully painted traditional Sri Lankan masks. My kids stared at the bright red Raksha masks, designed to chase away evil spirits.

Cooking the Sri Lankan Way
In a small village near Galle, we were invited into a local home to learn how to cook an authentic Sri Lankan meal. The kids took turns grinding spices with a stone mortar, their faces scrunched in concentration 🍛.

Dancing Under the Kandyan Moon
Dancing Under the Kandyan Moon
The rhythmic beats of the Geta Beraya drum filled the air as Kandyan dancers twirled and leaped across the stage. My kids were mesmerized, eyes fixed on the vibrant costumes and elaborate headpieces.
Then came the fire-walkers. As they stepped barefoot across burning embers 🔥, my son gasped. “How do they not get burned?”

The Ancient Whispers of Anuradhapura
🛕 The Ancient Whispers of Anuradhapura
The air was thick with history as I wandered through the ancient city of Anuradhapura. Towering white stupas stood against the bright blue sky, their smooth domes gleaming in the sun. Pilgrims, dressed in white, carried lotus flowers 🌸 as offerings, walking barefoot across the warm stone pathways.
