A nice sunrise spent on Big Point, Arugam Bay.
My birthday present – air conditioning. We moved locations – still in Arugam Bay, but farther away from all the center noise. I cannot imagine how this place will be in 20 years, I only know that change will come. I guess I will have to return to find out. Everyone is tired out from the back to back sunrise excursions. Viena’s last comment before going to bed was, “Daddy, what are we going to do in the morning?” This morning we were out the door before 6AM for my birthday sunrise walk to BIG POINT. We arrived just in time for the sunrise. The sunrises are not so spectacular here. The sun rises and the day heats up. We watched the surfers surf the big waves og BIG POINT. Looked fun, but not for me today. We did end up catching a few waves at Baby Point where all the beginners learn to surf. I asked a girl with a rental board if we could use her board for a few waves – another birthday present. Viena and Ezra both loved playing on the surfboard in the water and I was able to catch a few Baby waves – nothing like the boogie boarding waves I caught earlier in the week at Naundry Point. As we were walking home, the fishermen were coming back with their boats. They had about 10 small fish each. A fisherman gave Ezra a tiny marlin fish. We moved to another guesthouse. An interesting bathroom experience this morning. I thought I was back in college living with roommates. Dwana and I were trying to use the bathroom of another cabana because our bathroom was being repaired, but the other cabana unbeknownst to us was occupied. The motorbike ride to fetch chocolate cake and ice cream. A celebration of flies. A bright moon and clear starry skies. And the wind. Do not forget the welcoming wind.
