BREAKFAST AT A LOCAL hotel (restaurant)
This is my Boyd and Wurthmann (for the Ohio folks). At least 2 days a week I come and get a take-out order of 5 servings of dal (spicy beans) 5 servings of bhaji (spicy vegetables and potatoes) and 10 pieces of nan ruti (flat bread). Sometimes for my breakfast I just stop in and order some to eat there. It’s kind of like my Ohio “Boyd and Wurthmann!”


PARTICIPATION TROPHY being received after the final match at the Towne Hall Field Tournament. It was a big event with a band and lots of firecrackers. I was introduced at the opening ceremonies and was with the long line of dignitaries of the Towne Hall Market Committee, etc. to shake the hands of the players of the two teams in the final match. It was a fun evening.

MY DEAR WIFE AND I

REFRESHING DRINKS for my grandsons. I just returned from a local store with a bag of Diet Pepsi and water. Ricky, the awesome Remian Raider’s goalie wonders if he could have a drink. I was more than glad to share with him. My grandsons and I spent almost five at this football tournament in Banani. They had a great time.

POON HILL OR BUST
Here I am taking a break in my 300 m climb from our hotel (Hotel Snowland) to Poon Hill which is at 3,210 m (10, 531.496 063 feet). I could tell that I was at a high altitude, because of the frequent rest stops I needed.

DRINKING TEA
I decided to interrupt the Nepal photos with this photo my friend took of me sipping Bengali tea during a photo shoot in Old Dhaka. A bus driver who ran the route from Holmes Co., Ohio to Sarasota, Fl. was discussing me with my Mom in Florida. He said it is the fellow who looks out over the top of his glasses. I guess he was right! I’d like to thank my friend Matthias, who dropped this photo onto my desktop while I was in Nepal.
