CAROL AND IDA REALLY DID EAT WITH THEIR HANDS. THIS IS THE NORMAL METHOD FOR BENGALIS WITH BANGLA FOOD. This was the noon meal at the Taize brothers after the worship service. The one brother was teasing the ladies that there was an examination. If they failed to show they could eat decently with their hands he was going to produce spoons for them to use. They were glad they had one day to practice before this! They must have passed the test since no spoons were produced. It was quite a bit easier since it was kitcheri!
Eating kitcheri with their hands!

WE DID A TOUR ACROSS THE BURIGANGA TO SEE THE SHIP YARDS AND A GARMENT FACTORY. Here the ladies are posing with sewing machines. The workers loved to show us their workplace and their products.

Ida having a good time.
Alice enjoying this moment.
CAROL AND IDA ON A MYMENSINGH! They even looked for an excuse to go for a rickshaw ride just before supper. Riding rickshaws was their favorite mode of transportation, though they really enjoyed the train. They are leaving for the airport at midnight tonight! 😦
We sure have had a good time of catching up with our good friends.
They love riding on a rickshaw with great views and feeling the breezes, etc.

LAST EVENING AFTER ORDERING OUR MEAL AT Nandos Peri Peri Chicken Restaurant in Dhaka these couples poked their heads through the openings behind us! We had a splendid meal. It was the last day of their special of an additional free side dish of your choice with a meal. Nando’s is a casual dining restaurant group originating from the Mozambiquan Portuguese community in South Africa with a Portuguese/Mozambican theme.
