BAILEY, MY NIECE ENJOYING the waves at Cox’s Bazaar’s in Bangladesh. This section is called Laboni Beach. At 75 miles, it is the world’s longest sand beach in the world. Notice the typical Cox’s Bazaar “swimwear” which is of course not typical Florida or California swimwear!
TODAY WE TOOK THE TRAIN FROM DHAKA TO SYHLET, Bangladesh. It took 7 hours and 20 minutes. The train started 2 minutes behind schedule. This is a much better experience than some have been in the past. We will spend some time here and then go on to Cherrapungee Holiday Resort in India for several days before returning to Dhaka. We were ready for a vacation and it was time to leave the country because of our 90 day multiple-entry visas.
We didn’t ride first class but we surely didn’t ride on the roof like these fellows!
HAPPY 42ND ANNIVERSARY TODAY FOR Alice, my wonderful wife and I. She has been a faithful comrade throughout life. Whether hiking in Nepal, Colorado, Arizona or Bali she has been a trooper navigating canyons, volcanoes, and mountains! Married life, in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Ontario, Ohio and Bangladesh! I thank God for giving me such a wonderful companion. I met her on September 18, 1966 in beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and married her 1,000 days later!!
On a 4 day hike in Nepal from near Pokhara up to Poon Hill and back.
Celebrating our 40th anniversary!

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.
IN THE TAIPEI AIRPORT, in Taiwan they had this display in a waiting room. The whole sign is computer board parts, and the lighted part I am supposing is the shape of Taiwan.
