Day 93

POTTER AT WORK WITH A FOOT-POWERED WHEEL at Mrinmoi Pottery Village near Manikgang.


Day 92

I ALMOST FEEL AS FREE AS A BIRD!  Yesterday the doctor took off my cast and confirmed that my ankle wasn’t broken.  I have some slight pain with a lot of weight on that foot, but I’ve discarded the crutches.

Day 91

IN THE KITCHEN HEATING UP SOME DAL, BHAJI, AND NAN RUTI for our breakfast.  It is my favorite breakfast!

Day 90

INDOOR CRICKET IN OUR APARTMENT with friends.  Dustin, Charles, Ellis, Lewis, and Neil.  Sorry, Neil I didn’t get a photo of you to post.  I was the scorekeeper and photographer, since my foot was in a cast.

Day 89

MY SON, DUSTIN AND I CHILLIN’ ON THE COUCH in our Living Room in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Day 88

VENDOR AT THE TOWN HALL MARKET, in Mohammadpur, Dhaka.  Here is where I buy my potatoes, onions, garlic, and cloves.

TTL’s “BANGLADESH IN FRAMES 3” PHOTO EXHIBITION is finished.  It ran from March 25-29. The photo below was taken outside the gallery.  I am also in the group photo on the right hand side.  Look for a pale face and white hair.  It may be hard to do with the spot light that was aimed at the poster plus camera flash.  Day 76 has a better rendition of the group photo.

Day 86

LITTLE BENGALI GIRL USING A MOBILE!  She is as at the Mymensingh Train station, and is listening to songs on the mobile!

Day 85

MY FRIEND CHARLES’ MOTHER!

Today I went for a followup visit to the hospital, and the OP orthopedic Dr. looked at my previous x-ray and said my ankle is not broken!  After 4-6 days I will go in to have the cast taken off and re-examined!

AT THE DRIK GALLERY LEAVING with a rickhsaw.  Ingrid, my friend and physiotherapist making sure I use proper procedure in getting on and off of a rickshaw.

INGRID MILLER AND I STANDING with the photo of mine that accepted to be a part of the TTL “Bangladesh in Frames III” exhibit at Drik Gallery, in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh from March 25-29.  Ingrid is a friend and physio therapist who met me at the gallery to show me how to properly get up on a rickshaw and down. She was expecting me to arrive on a CNG, so was surprised to see me on a rickshaw before she taught me how. I did confess that I had already gotten up on a rickshaw, went to the vegetable market to buy veggies, and came home and got off the rickshaw.  We tried several methods but she admitted that the way I was doing was probably the best way.  I suspect in physiotherapy schools they don’t teach techniques on how to get up on a rickshaw unless the school would be CRP in Savar, Bangladesh!!  Actually it was my wife’s good idea on how to get into a microbus (van), which she gave me yesterday on our trip to the India border.  Ingrid also helped assist and give me ideas as I negotiated the steps to the different galleries at Drik.  Notice the shirt which I received as a gift because one of my photos was accepted!
