Hi Suzan! So sorry for my long absence! As you know, we're just recently back from an amazing, fantastic trip to Sri Lanka. I can't say enough good things about it! We took some time out from our busy schedule of playing on the beach and swimming in the pool to go and check out a place called Lunuganga, an estate built by Sri Lanka’s most prominent and prolific architect, Geoffrey Bawa. He has designed tons of buildings all around Sri Lanka, but this one used to be his own country house, built in 1947 and apparently it was where he tried out new ideas. Now it’s open to the public and the buildings are used as a guesthouse. The grounds are stunning, and the houses seamlessly merge outdoor and indoor space, antique and modern furnishings. So inspiring, you can't help but imagine how it would be to wake up in such an environment every day! Beautiful. Might need to stay there a few nights on our next trip to Sri Lanka....
