Dhaka arrival...2am!

After an uneventful flight (we are so blessed) we arrived in Dhaka at 2:15 am and breezed through immigration and customs. Our first night was in the St. Vivant hotel, which was extravagant for this area...our last taste of Western. I'm so grateful and shaking everyone's hand forgetting that that's not the tradition here...head nods are more appropriate.

We're now with our friends, Tricia and Zach and their 5 children enjoying company and moving into our little apartment for a few days (Rusty and Zach just left to get the key).

The kids are overjoyed to be with their old friends.

We are overwhelmed, but thrilled and happy to be here. Z&T are taking us to our first lunch outing to try Bangla food!

Bhalo thaken (stay well in Bangla)
