IFTAR FOOD SELECTION

Our house helper invited us and Craig’s to the Bihari camp for an Iftar meal! This is the meal that is used to break the daily fast during the Holy month of Ramadan.

Piaju, Alu Chop, Beguni, Dates, Mangoes, Pineapple, and Bhut, etc. provided a tasty way to break the fast.

It was nice Olivia could visit with her family.

Freshening up the vegetables for today’s customers.

Friendly Vegetable Seller!

Newsboy uses bicycle for his deliveries!

Parked!

My friend heard about my predicament with a stolen Canon XTI camera.  He had me speechless when he presented me with a Canon7D camera with a 24-105 1:4L lens! I haven’t recovered yet, but I will.  This would be the first photo I took with the camera.

Craig Mullet, my generous friend! Jet-lagged?

Washing all the beach sand out of the motorcycle!  This was the motorcycle and driver that were hired for me.  Sorry, about that photo yesterday!  I didn’t check it close enough, to see that not much was in focus.

Cleaning up the bike for the ride back to town!

These were some of the approx 17 motorcycles we hired to go up and down the Kuakata Beach to catch the sunrise, sunset, or fisherman village!

Abandoned!
