Beer + lime + ice in ice buckets, served poolside.

If you’re sweating through this weekend’s hot and humid heat, do head the brilliance of those in other lands. Specifically, I’m talking the Philippines and Sri Lanka.

Last weekend, chilling with my beer + lime + ice in the Peninsula Hotel, I met Imedla Marcos(!), who beside her fabulos shoes, was drinking my favorite mix – beer + lime + ice. Impressed, I was in awe when I arrived in Sri Lanka.

Here, far away from DC, but suffering through similar oppressive heat, every one drinks beer + lime + ice in ice buckets.

As you can tell, working from Colombo is a rough life.
