Reduced rate Tram/train tickets for senior persons.

 In the morning dada & I went to Citizen  Bank for getting some coin exchanges (Quarters)  in exch. of  $20. It was  reqd. as we would board tram/train (Dada & I) & pay  in cash, for tkts, while we would go to an office in a  train stn. viz. downtwon crossing. Purpose-----collecting 2  ID cards for senior people  (> 65 yrs.).
The bank official gave 2 rolls of quarters of  vl.= $ 20. Dada also tried to encash 3 of his traveler's cheques & succeded. Next, we entered the  Whole Food  Mart & bought some bananas.

After a few minute's rest at home, we 2 again started for Downtown crossing. The officials there gave us forms to fill in & checked our  bonafides.  Our photos were also taken by them. Later, we got temporary reduced rate tkts for $10 each, valid upto 19th July  (Today it is 30th June). ID cards to reach us by post.

 We entered a super store there (Macy's) & saw some items on sale. No purchase made.

 We validated our tkts thru  a vending machine & came home back at about 2-30 P.M. We were charged @  60 cents each i.e we got reduced rates already. We started  for D.T crossing at about 1 P.M.
 Today's menu for lunch:----  Karela soup (sort of),  karela (boiled), alu posto, alu-beguner tarkari with beans & chips of coconut plus Katla fish curry------ wonderful.
 Runi is better today (some dental problem caused her trouble & she went to a dental surgeon already) & she  enjoys the khana thoroughly. Also,  Yash is all praise for the khana.

Now is the time to lie down & sleep for a short while.
