--1 - A , . . , , - 1 I A Our short stay, 31 January to 2 Feb- ruary, in Ceylon, an island member of the British Commonwealth, drew'mixed reactions from the crew. Most agreed that the night life in Colombo, usually consisting of a few beers in the lobby of The Grand Oriental Hotel across from the landing, wasn't very exciting, but it did provide us with a little relaxation and the opportunity to make some new friends for Uncle Sam when we distrib- uted toys and showed movies at a party held aboard ship for 29 orphans. Those who spent their daytime liberty hours within Colombo found that shop- ping for carved ebony elephant bookends and semi-precious stones such as Cey- lon's famous star sapphires proved more fruitful than sightseeing. Those who ven- tured to Mount Lavinia Beach and Kandy were amply rewarded for their efforts. In Kandy, the last capital of the Sing- halese Kings, 72 miles inland from Colombo, were many points of interest including Queen's Hotel, The Temple of the Tooth, and the Lake Drive. Some of the more adventurous members of the tour party, including Odgers Qrightj, rode elephants along the Katugastota River.
