CAROL AND IDA ON A MYMENSINGH! They even looked for an excuse to go for a rickshaw ride just before supper. Riding rickshaws was their favorite mode of transportation, though they really enjoyed the train. They are leaving for the airport at midnight tonight! 😦
We sure have had a good time of catching up with our good friends.
They love riding on a rickshaw with great views and feeling the breezes, etc.
WE STAYED AT HOTEL AMIR IN MYMENSINGH. It was a nice hotel. Here are glimpses of a mural in the stairwell along with the ladies.
