HAPPY 42ND ANNIVERSARY TODAY FOR Alice, my wonderful wife and I. She has been a faithful comrade throughout life. Whether hiking in Nepal, Colorado, Arizona or Bali she has been a trooper navigating canyons, volcanoes, and mountains! Married life, in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Ontario, Ohio and Bangladesh! I thank God for giving me such a wonderful companion. I met her on September 18, 1966 in beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and married her 1,000 days later!!
On a 4 day hike in Nepal from near Pokhara up to Poon Hill and back.
Celebrating our 40th anniversary!
CINDY AND I HAVING A DUEL ON THE CHESS BOARD. We didn’t get to finish one game, but I think this is likely the game I lost! Chess is one of my favorite games.
TEA STALL OWNER PREPARING ME A CUP OF TEA. His stand is 50 yards from Jeremy’s apartment, and half way between us and Charles’ place! Sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and some tea are created to make this great drink. Maybe 3 oz. for 6 cents! It’s a rare day that I don’t have a cup of tea. He is wearing a lungi, which is typically what I wear most days at home in the apartment. They are quite comfortable during these 90+ degrees days!
This evening I attended Arif (Ariful H Bhuiyan) and Tajia’s (Salma Sultana Tajia) wedding reception.
Arif and Tajia don’t know which camera to look at!
I had a photo taken with the Bride, since the Groom hadn’t showed up yet!
Tajia Decked Out as Bengali Brides Usually Are!
Tajia has seen a make-up artist since Day 133!
THIS IS TAJIA (Salma Sultana Tajia). She is marrying Arif (Ariful H Bhuiyan) and I will be attending their wedding reception tomorrow. They are both photographers with TTL (Bangladesh Through the Lens) photo club. This was taken at Shudipto’s (another TTLer) wedding reception last Sunday!
TTLER’s ENJOYING SHUDIPTO’s WEDDING reception.
WHERE’S THE BRIDE? She’s hid behind the photographer on the right. I guess that is what happens when a photographer gets married and invites the whole club to the wedding! Poor Bride! Of course this event is basically one big photo-op with a great meal.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO MY MOTHER and all the other great Mother’s who check out this site!
Tonight I attended a wedding of Shudipto, a TTL club photographer. He had invited all the TTLr’s from Dhaka to his wedding reception.
Of course then you would see action like this wouldn’t you, with both the bride and groom behind the lens? It was a fun evening with great Bengali food! All the typical wedding food including curried chicken, fish and beef. They also served my favorite drink, borhani!
