I got an email from Greg today and this is what he had to say:
“What a busy day! We got up this morning at 230AM. Drove to the second site. About 5 hours. We unloaded a semi container trailer which contained the second dryer and some tools we need. We didn't have the equipment to pull most of the pallet out, so they had to be unloaded by hand. Busy, Busy, Busy!”
“I also had my first Sri Lankan traditional eating experience. Some time ago I looked up customs here and I saw that they eat with their right hand. Just the right hand!! It was cool! You lay a bed of rice out on your plate, they dip and dump small mounds of the various sauces and dishes one to it and mix it up with your right hand and eat it. It was neat. And for desert we have a fresh Papaya with sugar and lime on top. It was awesome! The sugar was made here and it was really large grain. “
Sounds fascinating, doesn’t it? Looks like Greg could use some sunscreen too!
I know you miss him but it is exciting to hear about different adventures. Even if they involve work. He will have 'tales' to tell I am sure..

How interesting! Thanks for the updates! We'll need to have a party when Greg returns so he can tell us about his adventures.
