Kelly Fitzgerald kellynfitz@gmail.com Courtney Chang, Christina Crone, Kelly Fitzgerald, and Rekha Arulanantham joined Sarrah Nomanbhoy Abidali in Sri Lanka this February for her wedding to Murtaza Abidali. While in Sri Lanka, they hiked to the top of Sigiriya, gorged themselves on a buffet lunch at Blue Water Resort, took tea at the Galle Face Hotel, and pet baby elephants at the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. As dutiful friends of the bride, her Casti classmates were able to bring Sarrah’s favorite Trader Joe’s snacks (the closest store is only 9,057 miles away from Sarrah’s new home!) and to play a lead role in stealing the groom’s shoes (at the risk of being showered with shaving cream by the groomsmen) – Women Learning, Women Leading!
