Day 286

MY DEAR SWEETHEART, “Walking in the Rain,”being watched by the ducks!  We enjoyed our trip to Mymensingh visiting different MCC projects.

Day 284

FARMER (Malik) IN MYMENSINGH carrying some grass he harvested.  Even though it was raining he didn’t mind posing for the photo, of course he had his own shelter!  I wanted to get the pose in the field but I was too slow getting the camera out of the bag and safely under a fellow traveler’s umbrella.

Day 281

THREE YEARS  ago we arrived in Dhaka and unpacked our bags.  Our lives have blended with many friends, bideshi(foreigners) and Bengalis.  We have impacted others, and others have impacted us.  Life goes on whether it is a rainy or sunny day.  Today is a very rainy day, which has naturally caused a big drop in temperatures.  It is 79.9 degrees Fahrenheit outside, trying hard to stay below 80 degrees!  Winter is surely on its way.

Day 266

ROD MAST, THE LOCAL PHARMACIST, visiting with an Amish couple near the German Village grocery store complex.  I went to college with Rod, back in the 60’s.
