I don't have a nickname, so I decided to use my AT'03 trailname for this blog even though it has nothing to do with the Appalachian Trail. That is a whole different story. I started teaching internationally in 2006 and finally had the money to travel overseas after dreaming about it for many years. I started blogging on a different site so I could share my travels with friends and family. That site recently revamped its format and all my pictures disappeared!

Sri Lankan Beaches
Unfortunately, because I was on a tour, I did not get to choose the beach(es). Not sure what you mean by Clearwater beach. Do you mean freshwater, like on a lake? I don't think there are any of those in Sri Lanka. We went to the beach at Ahangama. I cannot recommend it or the town. There were creepy guys sitting in the shade watching us and one had the nerve to talk to my friend and was just staring at her. Also, there was some type of insect in the sand that bit my legs and feet. Sand fleas maybe? I didn't go to any other beaches, but there is one called Mirissa that some other people on the tour went to after the tour was finished and they loved the beach and the town. Hope this helps!
