Category: Street scene
CHARLES, CINDY, CANACE, CHAYLA, CAROLYN AND I, spent sometime in Old Dhaka, taking in the sights and sounds of the Durga Puja Hindu festival. This shows the typical street we had to navigate.
MY DEAR SWEETHEART, “Walking in the Rain,”being watched by the ducks! We enjoyed our trip to Mymensingh visiting different MCC projects.
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.
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.
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.
HORSE AND CART waiting for the owner to finish shopping at the Carlisle Fabric Store near Walnut Creek, Ohio.
A CAR THAT SHOWED UP in Berlin, Ohio. Quite unique! I sure miss my Rebel XTI which is in for repairs.
MYSELF SIPPING SOME GREAT Bengali tea. I sure do miss it, here in the U.S. A.
HORSES AND BUGGIES WAITING while their passengers enjoy the Mt. Hope Auction Barn.

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!
