Dhaka streets looked colorful yesterday with many ladies dressed in red saris!  Many gift shops had loads of items such as sweetheart mugs, cards, etc. to help people celebrate Valentine’s Day.  I even bought my wife a bouquet of red roses!

I HELPED THESE TWO YOUNG LADIES FIND A HANDICRAFT SHOP AND A SHOP THAT HANDLES BLOCK PRINTING SUPPLIES!  From Iqbal Rd to Farmgate to Gausia Market, Midnight Sun Restaurant and back to Iqbal Rd.  The only mishap we had was when I tripped a fell smashing to the ground with my camera in hand.  My uv filter had a ding in the side and crushed glass but my camera, the lens, and my body had no ill effects!!! A miracle at best.

THIS WAS MY LAST MORNING WALK IN THAMEL, SINCE WE HAD AN AFTERNOON FLIGHT. AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED I AM POSTING TO CATCH UP FOR THE FIRST DAYS OF 2013. I HAVEN’T COME UP WITH A BETTER IDEA THAN TO POST THE EQUIVALENT OF ONE POST PER DAY PER YEAR!

WE SPENT JANUARY 1 IN THAMEL, KATHMANDU, NEPAL! IT WAS A NIPPY 38 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT EARLY IN THE MORNING AND 63 DEGREES BY 4 PM. I ALSO ENJOYED MY DAILY EARLY MORNING CUP OF TEA.

Hot tea for a chilly morning!

I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THESE STRAWBERRIES AT THIS TIME OF YEAR!  They let me taste me one, and I immediately bought a small pack to take back for Alice to taste as well.  We are enjoying our stay at the Hotel Encounter Nepal hotel.  The tub and hot water are a special treat for my wife, Alice!

A large pile of strawberries brings back childhood memories of picking 100 quart of berries on my parent's strawberry patch!
