A few photos from my first month

Well it's hard to believe, but tomorrow will represent six weeks that I've been here in Dhaka. On the one hand, it feels like it should have been longer, given all that I've done, but the time really has flown.
Looking back at the photos I've taken over the last month or more, I thought I'd share a few of my favorites:
This is a view of the Bangladesh Parliament building, designed by Louis Khan, as I was flying out of Dhaka

 A cat that must have thought it was hiding behind this big plant when I was in Barisal.
 This was at a nutrition training in Khulna - I love the colors and faces.
 This was at a ferry crossing in Patuakhali, in Barisal division in Southern Bangladesh
 These girls were waiting outside a community clinic in rural Barisal
 This woman was measuring the weight of a fish that she had pulled out of the community pond to check and see how their hatchery was doing.
 This little boy seemed not to want to sit down during this community discussion group on nutrition.
 I like this picture of the women in their sarees heading to the pond to check on their fish.
 Just to give you a sense of the amount of water that Bangladesh has, this is a photo I took as we were about to land in Dhaka - you can see how the electrical lines are built on these tiny spits of land.
 This was our 'fan base' as we visited a community clinic in rural Khulna.
