Summer Wanderings

As the school year finished, Alpha and I had a decision to make about what to do with our summer. Oringinally we had decided to spend the summer in Germany with my family, but the visa process ended up taking about 10 weeks! And yes, we did get to Germany, but only for this last week before we go back to work. But I am getting ahead of myself.

Enjoying the great !

Alpha and I applied for his German visa back in May and when we realized it was going to take a lot longer then the 2 weeks originally quoted to us, we decided to go see his family in Khulna for a week of relaxation and just to get out of Dhaka. It was a wonderful time just being able to sit back and enjoy the beauty of Bangladesh.

And then on the 22 of July we got the call. Alpha's visa came through!And our flight leaves in 6 hours! That was quite the day. The night before we had to pack our whole apartment to move, then Alpha had a job interview in the morning and then we went to pick up his visa, booked our tickets and headed to the airport!
For Alpha's first time out of the country, pictures are worth a thousand words, here is our trip in pictures:

Waiting in lines... so many lines....

So tired and in desperate need of caffeine

We spent a day at a castle!
