ALICE WALKING with friends on a path to a village near Manikgang.
Wow, look at the outfit over there! Alice and Susanna gazing at another option.
SHOPPING LOOKS LIKE FUN! Jessica, Susanna, and Alice examining all kinds of 3-piece outfits. My job is to remember where this store is so we can take future visitors there!
ALICE AND DUSTIN walking the back streets of Dhaka on the way to Jensen’s 10th birthday party. Jensen is our oldest grandchild.
ALICE WITH HALIM’S MOTHER after we had Iftar (meal right after day of fasting) with Halim’s family who live in Mohammadia housing.
ALICE’S KITCHEN where many kinds of food are prepared. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Chicken, beef and fish curries. Chapatis, bread, muffins, french pizzas, kitchuri, and cheese omeletes. Typically our helper cooks on Monday and Alice or I cook the rest of the days. My specialty would be the breakfast omelets, or bringing in dahl, baji, and nan-ruti from a local hotel (restaurant) for breakfast. I forgot to mention that this is the hottest room in the house. In many climates, this is where people would huddle to get warm, but those days would be rare here!!
OUR DINING ROOM with part of the entry room showing on the left. The left is where we put our outside sandals and switch to our apt. sandals or go bare-footed. There is also where guests put their sandals. Without this procedure there would be a lot of sand or dirt to walk through. Alice was doing the bargaining for the dining room table at Towne Hall Bazaar. You should have seen her bargaining in Bangla. Of course she had drawn a crowd, who all wanted to see what she was going to pay for the table. She had fun, they had fun, and when the owner agreed to the price, and Alice agreed and then I agreed and forked out the taka!
MY DEAR WIFE AND I
