Anik's father's family pose for a picture!

I spent most of the day walking around, looking in shops, watching children playing, talking with people, and finally, visiting my friend Anik at the shop where she works. We borrowed a
motor bike from her friend and we rode about 15 minutes to where her parents live. This is a photo of her with her mother. It is the tradition that a woman lives in the same house as her husband and his family. Because of this, Anik rarely gets to see her parents. I suggested that we just go and that I would take pictures so she would have some to remind her of them. I had brought some little plexiglass frames, and I will print them to give to her. When I was taking the picture, all of her cousins and their wives and children began coming out into the courtyard and started posing in such a way that I knew they wanted me to take a picture of them too, but they were too shy to ask! I did so, and will make a little album for them. I ended my day with a massage, tea and fruit.
