Day 170

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SPECIAL WIFE whose birthday is today!  I met her on September 18 in the afternoon and have had so many special times together since then!  Sorry, sweetheart, it’s 9 pm and the power is off so I couldn’t find a good photo of you on this laptop, so I used one of an Argentina flag waving high over a street in Lalmatia, Dhaka, Bangladesh.  This city is wild with 2010 World Cup fever!  Even more so than the World Series or the NBA finals in the U.S.A.  Well today was filled with more good-byes.  As I left the football field I had tears.  One fellow told me it is ok,  you will return!

Day 168

THIS  WATER PUMP at the MCC Sacred Mark project in Mymensingh, Bangladesh brings back memories of many years ago.  Water is such a necessary part of life.  Many people in the world and here in Bangladesh have problems getting enough good water.

Day 167

HOTEL GREEN IN TOWN HALL MARKET was where my friend and I had a great breakfast of curried beef, bhaji, and nan ruti.  Little restaurants are called hotels.  Actually this is one of the few that actually has rooms.  This photo shows the hotel from across the street.  I went back this afternoon to get this photo so you don’t see the action out front making the porotas and nan ruti.

More wrap-up things today, four more morning walks, farewells and Sunday evening at 10 heading for the airport.

Day 162

A BIG DAY TODAY FOR US and for the FOOTBALL (SOCCER) LOVING FANS.  This morning my son, Austin, and his family left for America after 2 1/2 years working with MCC.  Also tonight is the opening of the WORLD CUP 2010 tournament.  The flags are waving high here in Bangladesh as Bengalis are showing their loyal support for either Brazil or Argentina.  There are a few that would support other countries but they are few.

Yesterday, I took my grandsons to the barber and here they are on the rickshaw that brought us to our apartment.

Pruitt drinking his MoJo, Jensen gazing at the playing field, and Riley grabbing his chin!  Oh, also the rickshaw walla with the perfect pose! 🙂  I would have brightened up the photo more, but I would have lost the walla’s tupi!

Day 150

SON OF A BEGGAR WANTS TO get on the street to retrieve his toy (plastic bottle), but his mother looks like she will prevent it from happening.

STREET SWEEPER ON MIRPUR ROAD in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh.  These sweepers do a great job of daily taking care of the garbage that collects each day in the city.

Day 145

CATCHING UP ON THE MORNING NEWS in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
