KICK BOXING OR FOOTBALL
Did she really kick him? No, I don’t think so, though it looks like she decked him.

MOTHER/DAUGHTER
I caught these in a lull between football games, at a tournament two of my grandsons played in.

BEGGAR
This beggar didn’t know what to think when I asked her for a photo after I gave her my 2 taka note!

SANDALED FOOT
My grandson, Riley took this shot of my foot at a football (soccer for the Americans). For the Americans note this may be the last time I explain that football is soccer and not American football!! 🙂

CARPENTER
A carpenter with a drawer he is building.

FRIEND
Here is my friend Saddam. A great defensive football player.

BEGGING Here is a old blind beggar on the walking bridge over the farmgate intersection in Dhaka

SIFTING SAND
I saw this scene near the Towne Hall Bazaar. These guys were sifting sand for the building site on this street.

FRENCH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT
We spent most of the day at this tournament. It was for ages 6-16 with six schools participating. Jensen and Pruitt, two of our grandsons played. Neither of their teams made it past the qualifying rounds. They were still excited to receive a participation medallion as well as a book bag with goodies in it: cap, tee-shirt, pen, scarf, etc

Pruitt debating whether to pass or not.

Jensen is set to pass the football.
WAITING FOR CNG
After a 2 hour visit in this home the office helper and her daughter went with us out to the street where we hailed a CNG for our trip home. This is very typical of the Bengali hospitality. They don’t just say good-bye at the door, but walk you to the elevator, street etc. to make sure your on the way. They feel it is their duty as your hosts. The Bengali people are very hospitable people. They were very appreciative that we came to visit in their home and enjoy a meal.

LICKING COOKIE FROSTING!
This young guy took apart one of Alice’s chocolate mint sandwich cookie and enjoyed licking the icing!

Little boy loving the icing in the center of this cookie.
