Dear friends and family,
I really can't believe that I will be boarding a plane for America in a few days. I leave on December 15, our last day of school before a long break. I can't wait. I have been so nostalgic for Christmas music. I downloaded a few tunes and do have a live tree that I decorated with lights and little brightly painted stars and elephants. It's not the same!
Since I last wrote, I have been to the Sundarbans, a Scottish ball (had a long dress made at the tailor), and have been volunteering to serve breakfast to slum children at a Mother Teresa Sisters of Charity Home. The photos I have attached are from your trip to the Sundarbarns. I have lots of shots of that very relaxing cruise to the Sundarbans. We saw wild boar, monkeys, 7 ft. long lizards, eagles, kingfishers, and dolphins. The twelve of us on the boat got along really well for four days and nights. We even took mud baths in the Bay of Bengal and went swimming in the ocean. Food on board was excellent, prepared in Bengali fashion by some of the nine crewmen.
School continues to be wonderful. The people of Bangladesh continue to be gentle and kind. All is well, but I'm missing home.
Karen
