DUE DATE FOR OUR FRIEND I guess we still have just under 6 hours for the baby to come on the due date. Thanks, my friend for letting me post this sight-unseen. I thought her friends would appreciate a current photo! 🙂 It feels like I’m going to be a Grandpa again!!
MILK which my friend sells to neighbors and friends. He has at least 5 cows, a fish farm, and helps his father operate a tea stand. They have a “cowboy” who leads the cows out of the family courtyard and out to eat grass.
CHAIRS, CHAIRS AND MORE CHAIRS on Eid day near the Zia Park.
A PIZZA HUT CELEBRATION was scheduled for my birthday in August, resulted in them doing their H.B. chant for me and giving me this bouquet of flowers. I don’t think this is normal, but I think they remembered that I was a good friend of one of their workers who had just quit. I had played football with him, and usually he gave me and Alice a free cup of coffee or ice cream when we came with friends.
Take time today to have some coffee with a friend. Time is fleeting and precious. Don’t put it off, tomorrow may be too late.
SHAHEEN, OUR HOUSE-HELPER making chapatis which she does a great of.
TRAIN TO AKHAURA and back!
The 1st train stopped near the Zia Airport station for 2 hours to do repairs. We got to Akhaura at 12:45 then taking a CNG to the border. We got the immigration process done, ate some dal, baji, rice and fish and then returned to the border. Processed papers again and took the 30 minute rickshaw ride to the train. Standing room tickets only so we only went to the first station and got off hoping either for a bus or another train with seats. We spent part of the night at a guest house across from the station and then boarded the 3:30 am train which left at 4:20 am, and put us into the Komlapur station in Dhaka at 7 am! An interesting 25 1/2 hour trip.
We had some nice views in the country of the rice fields etc. It was good to be back in the city.
BANGLADESH became our home two years ago today!!! A special place with many special people in a great city!!!
