Day 198

SUNSET AT LABONI BEACH, A section of Cox’s Bazaar Beach in Bangladesh.

BAILEY IS STIRRING THE ALU (Potato) CHOP mixture with the proud Bengali cook looking on.

Day 196

BAILEY STARTS HER TRIP TO COX’S BAZAAR with Bangladesh’s variety of “Speed,” a high-energy drink.  With the Laboni Beach, speed boat ride to Maheshkhal Island, Buddhist and Hindu temples, Inani Beach with Coral boulders which were hidden because of high tide, Himchhari Falls, etc. it felt like we should have bought a case of Speed to keep us going.  It was a wonderful trip which we survived, including 2-14 hour bus rides to and from Dhaka!

BAILEY, MY NIECE ENJOYING  the waves at Cox’s Bazaar’s in Bangladesh.   This section is called Laboni Beach. At 75 miles, it is the world’s longest sand beach in the world. Notice the typical Cox’s Bazaar “swimwear” which is of course not typical Florida or California swimwear!

Day 194

LORI IN VILLAGE WITH YOUNG CHILD!

Day 193

KASEY WITH LITTLE CHILD FROM THE VILLAGE.

Day 192

Day 190

BAILEY DRESSED IN HER SARI READY TO GO visit our neighbors, and have an evening meal with them.

Day 189

BAILEY WITH A THRONG OF PEOPLE ON WALKOVER  at Farmgate the busiest intersection in Dhaka.  Probably more people move through this intersection in a day than the population of Denmark!
