Castle Island visit


On 10 November 2007 (Saturday) my host family Don Murray & Gloria Murray took me to the Castle Island, a little island very close to the Boston airport. It's so named after the fort situated just on the brink of the Atlantic Ocean. The fort once used to accomodate a huge number of British soldiers in the sixteenth century. Even though the weather was very chilly & breezy that day, I being accompanied by Don & Gloria enjoyed a long walk along the seaside and viewed wonderful scenery.

Then Don took me to their house at Braintree where we'd a long chat the whole evening. Don showed me his album full of pictures with Bangladeshi orphan girls. The orphanage in Mongla area is run by a Christian religious group Don associated with. I had some good talks with two grandsons of Don & Gloria. Don made some apple pie & other stuff with which we together enjoyed our dinner. It's such an evening that very difficult to forget. Thanks to Don & Gloria.
