VISIT TO HALIM’S PLACE ON FRIDAY

We were invited to Halim’s place for a meal on Friday afternoon.  It was nice to meet all of his extended family.  He is one of 8 brothers and 2 sisters.

HALIM’S FATHER reminds me of my Grandfathers with the white beard.  Maybe I enjoy foreign travel because of my Grandfathers’ influence.  My paternal Grandfather traveled to Europe on the “Queen Elizabeth” to visit the land where his ancestors came from.  My maternal Grandfather traveled to Germany on a cattleboat, which was delivering a heifer he had donated to the post-war rebuilding efforts.

CHAPATIS in the making.  This fellow in the Mohammadia Housing section of Dhaka came to the tea stand I was at and wanted me to take a photo of him and his wife as she was making chapatis (flat bread).  Very tasty, in fact I had some for lunch at a friends house.
