Day 289

WASHING DISHES in preparation for rental for the next party! Cheaper than every one owning a large set, and less wasteful than disposable plates. Squeaky clean?

Day 285

HURRICANE LAMP UNDER RICKSHAW in Joypara for night- time travel!  This reminds me of the lanterns used for the horse-drawn carriages by my Amish relatives.

Night Light!

Day 271

LAUNDRY GETS WET AGAIN!  RAIN, RAIN, AND MORE RAIN

We have had some rain almost every day for ten days!  This lady was on the rooftop and caught me taking a photo, so he went into the “posed” mode!  Street photography is challenging in this country.  I love the vivid colors the women wear!

Rescuing the Laundry! Too late!

LADY WALKING on Asad Avenue

The streets are not as crowded during this time from the Ramadan Eid through Durgha Puja, the main Hindu holiday.

Going somewhere!

Day 269

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my 10-yr old grandson, Jensen.  Until he was nine months old, I knew I was a grandpa, but never got to hold him, since he was born in Bangladesh.  In 2000 we met Austin’s and Dustin in Bangkok, spent a week in Chiang and then made our first visit to Bangladesh where Austin’s and Dustin were living.

Jensen, with cake he decorated.
