We had a quiet Sunday in Maridi. Victor and Bob made a fuel run to Farakasika which is about 25 kilometers from Maridi. They have to go there because there are no diesel pumps in Maridi. The only way to get diesel is in jerry cans and the fuel is very dirty. John and I just hung around the house until the one of the crew guys came by and we went down to the reservoir with a bunch of the people who work here. They had a cook out and a few beers. We hung out with them for a while; we didn't eat as we did not know that they were planing to eat and we had eaten earlier. We came home and John and I made pizza. Some of the Bangladesh U.N. people came by and had some and invited us over tomorrow for dinner. They wanted us to come by before Victor leaves on Thursday. The first picture is of Jackie, the only female lineman on the Maridi crewm bringing a case of 16 oz.glass bottles of beer to the cookout. She carried it across the dam you can see in the back ground. It has a blue railing--all together it was about 600 feet. The next is just some bananas growing wild by the side of the road. The last is just a bunch of goats. They are everywhere, and I mean everywhere, thousands and thousands of them.
