Arugh. pictures not working...welcome to bangladesh. ;)
summarizing the last few days:
we stayed in siragjang an extra day b/c both Darren and I were sick....feeling much better now, thank you very much.
the ag program is small scale and very cool. think of feeding fish chicken poop. and other things doing what they are supposed to do, no chemicals needed.
Yesterday went shopping for Darren's newly made sandals and my newly tailored shalwar kameez, buying mangos, banannas and pineapple straight from the source...
riding rickshaws and getting clipped by a rickshaw--look out.
wearing more color than I have seen in a long time...its all about the contrast....;)
feeling like a small child who has no idea how to talk, buy things or what to do with my shoes. thank goodness for Reba who has been here a year and for Darren who also feels like a small child and who can laugh uproriously when things are so awkward they are funny. Which is most of the time. haha.
now i must go to lunch. hope I can find my way back....later is my language lesson w/ Ms Nat... and Taize service later on still.
more later.

Hi Cicely -
Glad you're feeling better! I'm visualizing all the color - sounds amazing. Laura Berends' brother Jon spent 2 months in Guinea this summer (with World Missions) and talked about market day and the beautiful clothes, too.
D & E started school today - both kind of quiet/nervous. Emma spent hours decorating her notebooks. Daniel grabbed his bag of notebooks this am.
Your car is sold. I will send you the details via e-mail.
Love, A. Pam
Hi Cicely,
just trying to figure this out--blogging is new for me.
I LOVE your updates. And can't wait to see pictures. I've also worn salwar kameez before, and agree on the great colors and comfort. God be with you,
Love from

great pictures...good to hear that life is awkward all around the world. i love hearing more about it.
cicely--
do you have a snail mail address yet? let us know when you do.
bangladesh sounds amazing, alive, vibrant. i'm praying for you as i'm sure there are plenty of emotional extremes every day!

cicely, We have so enjoyed reading all about your adventures! I give Grandma copies that I print off once a week. She REALLY looks forward to that. Mal and Lynz are back in school and everything is going well. Mal called today and wanted to know if she could go sky diving this weekend. What next? We hope you have a wonderful birthday and we'll send a card but it probably will be a month before you get it! Loved your pictures Aunt Sheri
Hiya little nancy, just keep pluggin' over there in Bangla...I'm sure you'll get the hang of things and there are good things coming your way after it's all over...
