MY NIECE RACHAEL WITH HER HUSBAND SEAN ST. MICHAEL FLETCHER getting for the start of the Basketball Game.  Well our family reunion kicked off with a basketball game vs. some cousins, or sons of cousins!  It was a fun evening.

Day 181

IDA, OUR FRIEND ENJOYING OUR photo book.  She had invited us over for supper along with her mother, and Carol, another friend.  It was a fun evening of getting caught up on recent events in our lives, reminiscing about the good times we had together in years past, and of course a good cup of coffee.

REUNION WITH OUR GOOD FRIEND Carol Hochstetler

Not a good day for the U.S. soccer team as they lost in overtime to Ghana.  Maybe in 2014?

Day 167

HOTEL GREEN IN TOWN HALL MARKET was where my friend and I had a great breakfast of curried beef, bhaji, and nan ruti.  Little restaurants are called hotels.  Actually this is one of the few that actually has rooms.  This photo shows the hotel from across the street.  I went back this afternoon to get this photo so you don’t see the action out front making the porotas and nan ruti.

More wrap-up things today, four more morning walks, farewells and Sunday evening at 10 heading for the airport.

ALICE AND I ARE CELEBRATING OUR 41st WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TODAY!  Up at 4:30 AM for a 50 min walk and back by 5:30 AM.  No sense wasting a good day by sleeping! 🙂

I had a great bean and cheese burrito for breakfast.  We are trying to empty our freezer before we leave, and I think the last trip to the market I bought too many beans!  If and when I run out of beans I’ll head for the local hotel (little local restaurant)  for some dal, bhaji, and nan ruti!

We’re whacking away at our to-do lists in preparation for heading to America.  We were hoping to be done yesterday but didn’t quite make it.  Pulled out some cupboards, the fridge, etc. so Shaheen, our house helper could clean behind them.  We want things “spic and span” when Lewis’ arrive.  They will be staying in our apartment upon their return to Bangladesh, until they find a permanent place to locate.  I just finished off some mango juice, which we will miss while in the U.S.   After another bean & cheese burrito I think it may be nap time.   I see Alice is on the couch fast asleep compensating for the early morning.  This morning she had cooked  up the rest of the veggies that were in the freezer into a nicy spicy veggie/potato mixture, which I will be enjoying for several days.  It’s almost 4 am in the U.S. so I think I’ll post this since the 14th of June (our anniversary) has arrived in the U.S. as well!

This photo was taken last year as we celebrated with the Friday and Saturday morning footballers I play with.  They gave us a beautiful red trimmed crystal vase.

Day 164

PRAYERS SAID ON AUSTIN’S behalf as he makes his last visit to this former sex-workers’ MCC project in Mymensingh, Bangladesh.  This is a great project to get these women off of the streets and give them a skill to provide a more respectable source of income.
