| In order to travel light,Jennie had brought few clothes, so one of hi\er first acts was to go shopping. She fell in love with Sri Lankan batik. She and Dorothy bought a lot of batik from the Women's Cooperative Sthree and from Ashoka Textiles downtown. One of Jennie's big interests was the ancient irrigation system in Sri Lanka. She took a two-day trip to Polonnaruwa with Jagath to see some of the tanks, Serendipitously, Dushy's uncle had written the seminal work on the ancient irrigation system, and she gave Jennie a copy to further her research. | |||||||||||||||||
