Homeward Bound!

 

I better mention that today is my birthday, so I’m starting my 65th year!

On the Buriganga river!  I visited the shipyards in Keraniganj with friends yesterday!

Idyllic Scene of Fishing Boats

A TYPICAL SCENE ON THE BURIGANGA.  We had taken one of these across the river to Keraniganj to see the shipyards and garment factory.

IT’S SHOWER TIME!

THIS GENTLEMAN ON THE BOAT  DECIDES ITS TIME FOR A SHOWER!  It was a hot day and I’m sure it felt good.

Suds, Suds, must go away!

2012 Day 29

EVENING MEAL AT THE FCC (Foreign Correspondents Club) restaurant in Phnom Penh.  The Phnom Visitors Guide said, “This is the famous FCC – still as much a journalist’s meeting place as a popular tourist/expat bar and restaurant.  Located on the second floor of a beautiful old colonial-era building, the FCC’s open balcony provides a spectacular, sweeping view of the riverfront.  …….. No visit to Phnom Penh is complete without at least one visit to the FCC.”   So of course last evening I decided to check it out!   🙂   I decided on the  grilled Norwegian Salmon Fillet.  It was as delicious as the Salmon I ate in Chicago, San Diego, and the one my brother-in-law caught and brought to Florida to be grilled!    I finished off the evening by sitting down with a mango milkshake, while I wrote some postcards to send to friends.
