Buddha's Birthday

This was actually several weeks before I left Sri Lanka in May when the Buddhists celebrate Buddha's birth, death and enlightenment. It's a big public holiday where there's free food available and everyone is out celebrating.
Banana Man had to work though.
I'd never seen so many Sri Lankan's on the beach! It was even more startling as the holiday season was over so there were no tourists and the week before the beach had been empty.
