Editor Sherry's Sri Lanka Travel Report 3/3

Sri Lanka is famous for their 6 cultural World Heritage sites. The last several days we visited a couple of sites on the list. Our first stop of the day was Sigiriya -- the Lion Rock.

They are convenient when is used, but do not disturb the atmosphere at table; learn a manner to keep it.
