SLEEPING ATOP ADAMS PEAK (LITTLE)
Today I saw a small dog with antlers, a monkey in a tree, and a mongoose. Nice to be able to see creatures in the wild on small little walks in the neighborhood. Sri Lanka – where neighborhoods are still wild. We woke up before 5AM this morning to walk up little Adams Peak to catch the sunrise. I thought the early start would be difficult for Ezra and Viena but they did great climbing all the steps. They pretended they were freezing at the top. This morning’s walk up has been the first time since Maui that they have had a sense of cold – minus my attempt of Kinabalu. An early morning cool walk to a great sunrise with views of Ella Rock or Dwana Rock Ravana Rock. I stared over one too many times at Ella Rock – “Foley, come climb me!”And so after our morning picnic we walked down and I immediately headed up to climb Ella Rock. I was trying my best not to become lost, but eventually, I did get lost … so a helpful guide took me to the junction of the main trail, which was steep all the way to the summit. A nice view from the top, but the coolness of the morning had long worn off and now the noon-time sun was heating up the day. I met a couple of American Brothers from Texas on the descent and we chatted all the way down. Good to talk with Amercan travellers. We are not alone. Now we prepare to camp atop Little Adams Peak.
