Sri Lanka Man
July 2004
We were in a car, at the top of a mountain when we pulled over, in the middle of nowhere, just to stretch our legs. This man appeared out of nowhere. He wanted to sell me some flowers. When I indicated that I wasn't interested, that didn't stop his interest in chatting with me. Dep-Dep, my driver translated that this man was so happy to meet me. He had never met an American again. He asked me to take his photo. A few minutes later, we got back in the car and rove off. A few months later, there was a terrible tsunami in Sri Lanka. When I heard the news, my first thoughts went to this man. I wonder if he made it throw the storm?
