COLORFUL SARI

We had a nice meal at the home of Dustin’s office helper.  Here is a photo of her mother.

Day 26

Fisherman # 4 is going to have to wait!!  I had to post this great shot of Rishan Asif, one of Remian Raider’s strikers.

Here is Asif still in the air after a great head-shot!

Day 23 (cont.)

I couldn’t resist adding this photo!  The team I am coaching won their first game of a new tournament this afternoon. The final score was 1-0, with the winning goal on a penalty shot!!  I shot some photos for the first time in the raw format.  I haven’t messed with them to see if I can enhance some of the shots with poor lighting, etc.

Day 14

Shaheen, our helper brought her 11 year-old daughter to work with her yesterday.  I decided to show her how to paint.  She helped me do quite a bit of this project painting two shelving units for the kitchen.

Day 13

We attended a engagement party for friends (Jon and Fiona)just days before they are heading for New Zealand and then Australia for an April Wedding.  They will likely return to Bangladesh in 2011.  It was a special time. 

Day 9

I woke up with a text Friday morning from the captain informing me that there will be a celebration party at the Star Kabab.  It was a nice celebration.  We also had a birthday cake for our goalie, Ricky.  He did a great job during the tournament.

I am enjoying the time spent with these High-School age players.  I am the coach of the Remian Raiders.

It was kind of muddy to be playing but the tournament had to go on. 
Good save!

Good save!

It seems like mud and rain don’t halt games, though it makes it somewhat inconvenient. The ball doesn’t act in the water like it does on grass!

This looks tired but still smiling even though my team won 6-0!

I loved your photos.  Keep them coming.  With the blog, I found out where you are going!  Say hi to your parents.

A special time.  Most of the celebration will have to wait till I recover from Dengue Fever.

Here is a mix of some of our friends and acquaintances.
