Thanks for rekindling memories
I visited in 1978 on a backpacking journey from Australia to Europe...and loved the place so much I flew back for Xmas holidays in 1982. Sadly the violence seemed to get worse and worse, the beaches more developed...and finally the Tsunami...... Nice to see the goats are still there at Galle!!...and your pics capture some of the atmosphere which drew me back...
