Eid is a great time in the city...its the only time of the year that it is completely traffic free! Well, thats not the only reason its great :) The city lights up like Xmas, everyone is in a festive spirit with new clothes and lots and lots of food! Visiting friends and neighbors and eating yummy meals...its wonderful. This year my mother was in Dhaka so we decided to a take drive to my grandfather's village, Gokarna. Its about 2 hours drive out of Dhaka and so beautiful and green! I couldn't take a lot of pictures on the drive...motion sickness...but here are a few pics of the compound.
Here the boys all prep to go to the morning prayers...
