Day 251

NICE FRUIT SALAD which was also very tasty.

Day 172

ALICE ENJOYING A CUP OF COFFEE AT the Old Town Coffee shop in the KL airport in Malaysia.

I HAD A NICE BREAKFAST with my friend, Charles at this hotel (restaurant). Alice and I headed for the Dhaka airport at 10 pm, for our 1:20 flight with Malaysia Airlines.

Day 167

HOTEL GREEN IN TOWN HALL MARKET was where my friend and I had a great breakfast of curried beef, bhaji, and nan ruti.  Little restaurants are called hotels.  Actually this is one of the few that actually has rooms.  This photo shows the hotel from across the street.  I went back this afternoon to get this photo so you don’t see the action out front making the porotas and nan ruti.

More wrap-up things today, four more morning walks, farewells and Sunday evening at 10 heading for the airport.

Day 166

BANGLADESHIS ARE ONE OF THE MOST HOSPITABLE people in the world.  Most times when visiting in a home you are given a snack.  Sometimes it is a nice sweet biscuit and 7-up, and sometimes biscuits with tea.  Sometimes it is fruit or mishti (sweets).  Here is a treat we enjoyed during our visit to an MCC project in Mymenshingh, Bangladesh.

After our early morning (4:45) walk I realized there will only be five more of those walks before we head for Ohio, via KL (Malaysian airport), Los Angeles, and Columbus!

Day 130

MY DEAR WIFE, ALICE  with the Mother’s Day gift she received from Austin’s.  Riley couldn’t wait to give it to her.  He crawled under the table and on to my lap, and gave her the gift bag as he said, “Happy Mother’s Day!” 

FRENCH FRIES at the American Club where we went with Austin’s and Dustin to celebrate Mother’s Day.

Day 125

ATTENDEES ENJOYING a typical Bengali Wedding feast.

Day 92

POROTA IS A typical bread served with eggs or curried dal or veggies for breakfast.  Here is one I was served at the hotel (restaurant)  in Khumarkali before I left for Dhaka.

Day 72

FISH AND SHRIMP CURRIES AND BHAJI I enjoyed while on a visit to Khulna with my friend Robi.

Day 56

Hot chilis drying on the rooftop.

Day 18

COOKS IN THE KUNGA Restaurant (Tibetan) where we had some delicious meals.

MO MO MAKING LESSONS at the Hot Stimulating in Darjeeling.  This activity which was mentioned in the “Lonely Planet” was enjoyed by Austin (my son) and I.  We each bought Mo Mo steamers and are planning a family Mo Mo party for this weekend.  Pruit (our grandson) asked if we could show him how to make them.
