Easter in Karachi

We attended Easter Sunrise services by the International Church of Karachi. Our church doesn't actually own a building so we meet at various places around the city. The service for Easter was at the Beach Luxury Hotel owned by the Avari family (Nice family! All three of their children attend our school.)


We didn't want to have to get up veeeeerrrrrryyy early to get across town to the sunrise service, so our neighbors from school decided to spend the night with us at the hotel. This is what it looked like out our window looking toward the downtown part of Karachi (20 million people! Seattle is less than one million. Seattle metropolitan area is about 3 million.)


This is looking out our hotel window to the port. This hotel was built just after Partition (breakup of India into India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) and used to be THE fanciest place in the entire city.


We are home for the summer. We will be going to Copenhagen late July for an Esperanto convention and then going back to work in August.
