Day 353

ALICE ENJOYING HER ICED COFFEE and I enjoying a orange/mango smoothie.  These photos are basically in realtime!  We are at the “Coffee Club” which opened yesterday!  A very nice place near what they call “Times Square!”

Day 330

WE HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING MEAL YESTERDAY, prepared by the men.

We had goose, chicken, mashed potatoes, bread, french onion soup, pumpkin pie, apple pie, orange/coffee custard, potato stuffing, chicken gravy, momos, veggies, and okra.  Sorry guys, if I missed an item.

Here is a photo of the potato momos I made.  I took momo cooking lessons at a cafe in Darjeeling with Austin.  Here is a link that a lady put online, who had also taken the lessons there:  http://www.ordinaryvegetarian.com/2010/05/tibetan-momos-in-darjeeling.html

Day 273

A BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED CAKE TO ACCOMPANY the birthday cake for a friend who celebrated her 60th birthday!  These are real flowers powdered with icing sugar.

Day 260

TODAY I MET KARA AND LUCILLE, our renters.  We are fortunate to have such fine young ladies renting our house.  Sorry, no photo, so I decided to add the below photo.

GRILLED CHICKEN WAS one of the the barbecued delights we enjoyed from John Yoder’s grill.

Day 256

ALICE, MY WIFE, in a vegetable market in Sarasota, Florida, U.S.A.

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.
