BY NOON TODAY 2011 WILL BE HALF OVER!  Our niece, Bailey King arrived early this morning from California.

Day 181

CHICKEN KORMA SERVED AT THE FOREST GREEN RESTAURANT, associated with the Hotel Dallas in Syhlet, Bangladesh.

This is one of my favorite dishes.  No, I didn’t use the spoon to eat it with.  I picked it up in pieces of nan ruti for a scrumptuous meal.

Day 166

TODAY WE TOOK THE TRAIN FROM DHAKA TO SYHLET, Bangladesh.  It took 7 hours and 20 minutes.  The train started 2 minutes behind schedule.  This is a much better experience than some have been in the past.  We will spend some time here and then go on to Cherrapungee Holiday Resort in India for several days before returning to Dhaka.  We were ready for a vacation and it was time to leave the country because of our 90 day multiple-entry visas.

We didn’t ride first class but we surely didn’t ride on the roof like these fellows!
