    Hello, I know that it may sound a bit weird, but I’m here to ask you if you have a high resolution image of the colonial building falling apart, shown on this blog. It would be really useful for a research project on Palladianism worldwide. The building, in fact, is a precise copy of the Renaissance Basilica in Vicenza (Italy).

    I would be very grateful if you could help me. And feel free to ask whatever you want to know.

    Thank you in advance

    We, too did a cruise stop in Columbo just as Covid was starting in the east. In fact, we had been in China for New Years just as it was spreading out of Wuhan. Anyhow we weren’t overly impressed but did have tea at the hotel. But we were there about 4 weeks ago; too bad we couldn’t have meet up with you there! We had visited Todd and family in Riyadh where they are now teaching. Then, for their March break, we went to Sri Lanka for a beach location. We were down the coast in Weiligame, a surfing beach,. We did not surf (Todd did) but had a fabulous time. As we were leaving though, I said to Bob that I am a little disappointed. 2 times in Columbo and we hardly saw the country. I am not sure that I will ever get back but the countryside and other tourist areas are supposed to be wonderful. We are thoroughly enjoying your blog!!
