We celebrated the 4th of July at a mehndi party. My foot will look like this for quite a while, so far it shows no signs of fading. The traditional henna is augmented by a host of frightening new dyes.
In the "best pineapple in the world" contest, Bangladesh wins! They're so sweet and the core is soft too.
If you happen to like Jackfruit, this is the time of year for it. Karole's lips swell up if she eats it, so I end up eating all the Jackfruit I want. I'd say it tasted better than it looks, and it smells weirder.
A new friend who came to see the play. She's working to start an art school in Bangladesh.
Post theater revelers. Everyone did a great job with "The Three Faces of Medea" We didn't want the night to end. Food, beverages, and music topped off the evening.
Lots of photo opportunities after the show.
Karole with cast members.
See if you can spot me.
This sign for hearing aids seems to cater to Homo Erectus all the way to Neanderthals, or am I reading the images wrong?
Mangoes are in season, grapes, apples and oranges are also plentiful this time of year. The apples are average, everything else is outstanding.
Another typical street scene, with two bicycle rickshaws and a CNG. I like the colors and design of this building, haven't a clue to its purpose.
Lots of advertising, quite a bit in English, it's not widely spoken though. Tomorrow we leave for Nepal, so the next posting will likely be from there.
