It was nice Olivia could visit with her family.

When I kept responding to other National Monument visitors who wanted a photo with our guests with a yes, these were some of their responses! Hopefully they still love their “tour guide!” It looks like I can’t include Abigail as a participant in these antics! 🙂
Denae decides it’s her time to act up!
Denae “proposes” to Emily! Goofy at its best!
Emily isn’t impressed having to pose with this guy!
CAROL AND IDA REALLY DID EAT WITH THEIR HANDS. THIS IS THE NORMAL METHOD FOR BENGALIS WITH BANGLA FOOD. This was the noon meal at the Taize brothers after the worship service. The one brother was teasing the ladies that there was an examination. If they failed to show they could eat decently with their hands he was going to produce spoons for them to use. They were glad they had one day to practice before this! They must have passed the test since no spoons were produced. It was quite a bit easier since it was kitcheri!
Eating kitcheri with their hands!
WE DID A TOUR ACROSS THE BURIGANGA TO SEE THE SHIP YARDS AND A GARMENT FACTORY. Here the ladies are posing with sewing machines. The workers loved to show us their workplace and their products.

WE ATTENDED A CRAFT BAZAAR ORGANIZED BY PROKRITI AND MCC. They had me wear a “funny” robe and scarf on my head. Then I played this hand drum like thing. Of course I got everyone’s attention. I think they have it on hand to have some fun at the Bazaar Someone commented that they now saw Austin’s Dad (me) acts just like Austin. I wonder who learned it from who! 🙂 I wondered later if I didn’t even have the robe on backwards! This was the first of hopefully many more monthly bazaars. Many organizations brought items from many Bangladesh artisans for sale. There also was North End Roasters coffee available. Afterward we went to the A & W restaurant. A & W root beer is one of Alice’s favorite soft drink. Myron got some Movenpick ice cream which he thoroughly enjoyed. We ate the evening meal at Midnight Sun, a Chinese restaurant. For dessert we ordered ice cream. At least today Myron had ice cream two times, instead of his normal three times a day when he is on vacation! Oh, Michelle this post and photo is especially for you! 🙂
Here I am at the Fair Trade Craft Bazaar

SOME FRIENDS FROM AMERICA ARRIVED AT THE AIRPORT AT approximately 4:10 am. After waiting for luggage for almost an hour we headed for our place. We are trying to decide where to go for the evening meal?
