Visit to Hampi in India and Cycling in Sri Lanka
with Peter Wing, Professor Emeritus, Spine Surgery and Claire Weeks, Assistant Professor Emerita, Rehabilitation Medicine
A friend, after spending a year in India some decades ago, remarked that the most interesting place she’d seen all year was Hampi. We’ve been to India a number of times and have gotten close, but, finally, in December, 2024, we made it to this extraordinary UNESCO Heritage Site, home to long-abandoned, beautifully preserved 13th and 14th century palaces and temples. It fulfilled expectations! From there, we travelled to Sri Lanka and enjoyed a stimulating 2-week cycling trip, going into the hills and along the coast and canals, seeing tea plantations, tropical flora and fauna, amazing ancient religious sites and eating exotic and delicious food. Our photos will help us share what we enjoyed most.
