Also our 3 months, in BD, mark.
We ran several loads thru the washer, had breakfast, and loaded everything up. The crew from Jared’s walked over to say “Bye” and see us off. The things that didn’t fit in our van were loaded into Jared’s and he drove halfway. We left shortly after 9:00. Doyle drove up from Gopalgonj to bring it the rest of the way. Jaira jumped in with him and Amaryllis (7 yrs old, but the oldest in her fam., not shy, chatty 😉). Stopped in Gopalgonj for lunch at a street side cafe. Arrived at feda palace, our new home in Khulna, at 2:30.
After unloading, Doyle and Amaryllis headed home. We rested just a bit, made some sweet tea, and then worked on unpacking our totes and finding a place for everything. It will be so wonderful to not live out of totes anymore!
“Are we excited to start this next chapter?”, the questioned is asked of us. The girls have been really excited!🤩 But for myself, it feels like starting all over again with making a house our home, getting familiar with the shopping available here, making new friends, learning/figuring out a new routine, etc. This kind of upheaval so soon again is… not easy! You can say a prayer for us, if you think of it, as we try to settle into a new groove here.
We’ve found ourselves perking up to the familiar sound of the “beep, beep” of a (small transport) horn, we even went to the window the 1st couple times to check! But no Sayd Ali waiting in his rickshaw to take Lonnie and sometimes Annslie too out for cha!.. Just strangers passing by… hopefully it won’t have to be this way too long!
