MO MO MAKING LESSONS at the Hot Stimulating in Darjeeling.  This activity which was mentioned in the “Lonely Planet” was enjoyed by Austin (my son) and I.  We each bought Mo Mo steamers and are planning a family Mo Mo party for this weekend.  Pruit (our grandson) asked if we could show him how to make them.

Day 6

BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE seen the last hour before we left Darjeeling, as I was trying to capture the sunrise giving a nice tint to the mountain in the previous photo.

THE THINKER!  I am thinking it was cold in Darjeeling and soon after returning to Bangladesh, it turned cold here as well.  Of course, we feel it because the only heat we have is the gas burners or oven!  These last 10 days (today is actually Jan 22) I have worn this hat at times indoors. 

Day 4

KANCHENJUNGA, the world’s 3rd largest mountain which was visible from Darjeeling where we spent 10 days with our family over the Christmas and New Year’s Holidays.
