August, 1985
Here we are in the middle of South Dakota at Al’s Oasis Inn watching a Dracula movie on Saturday night – Allie and Val are screaming but it is really a comedy! So far we have seen the Corn Palace and lots of farmland. Astra is traveling well as usual. Tomorrow we will go on to the Badlands for a night and then to the Back Hills. Allie and Val have been saving their allowances and have been to two gift shops already, while Astra and I wait elsewhere. We had a good time at Valleyfair, the amusement park, with Tom and Jenny on Thursday before we left – spent 10 hrs there!
Hope all is well in Europe.
Love, Tim
