Honolulu, Hawaii

February 1995

Dear K and N

This place is just great! We’re having a ball hiking in the morning and laying on the each in the afternoon. We’re sitting on our lanai and Dave is scanning the horizon for whales. He saw one this afternoon.

Love, Barb

Jackson, Wyoming

July 2007

Dear Noah

There aer four of these arches, at each entrance to the Jackson town square. Made entirely of elk antlers and quite large. Not sure why the town did this but it is impressive in a weird sot of way…

Love, Tim

Arch of Elkhorns. On the old town square in Jackson, the Arch of Elkhorns creates a symbolic entryway to the Grand Teton National Park.

Malaga, Spain

Gibralfaro way up

1973

Dear K

Didn’t have a chance to go skiing, as everything was shut up until the season opens on the 12th so no broken legs or anything. Really enjoying the sun in Malaga. Right now sitting in a sidewall cafe drinking a “cerveza”. Move on to Madrid tonight etc. Hope we didn’t put you out too much while we were there. Hope your SAT went alright tambien.

Love, Tom and Jen

Alberta, Canada

Hi

We are enjoying this magnificent area – one forgets how beautiful the Rockies are – and here espec. We had lunch yesterday in the Chateau on Lake Louise. Unbelievably beautiful. Wish you were here.

Love Bill and Va.

Snowmobiles at the Columbia Icefield, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. Specially equipped vehicles enable summer visitors to tour the snow-covered Athabasca Glacier, a tongue of the west Columbia Icefield. In the background is the spectacular icefall at the head of the glacier.

Salzburg, Austria

June 1974

Dear Mom

This is a lovely city – we toured and walked yesterday in the lovely spring sun. Kathy and I are trying all the gorgeous (and fattening) pastries – no wonder many people here are plump! We’re off by train to Vienna this noon. Wish you were here.

Love, Dede

The festival city Salzburg – the Mirabell garden with the cathedral and the fortress.

Venice, Italy

Rio and Greeks’ bridge

June 1968

After some delay getting visas for Hungary in Rome, we came to this beautiful Venice – crowded with German tourists. Will take the train for Budapest tomorrow morning; Sheila will come along for four or five days and then fly back to Mexico via London. Hope your African safari went all well!

Best Regards, Stella

Ireland

May 2005

Dear Noah

There are lots of sheep in Ireland, 500,000 on the Dingle peninsula alone – Most have little colored splotches on their backs so you can ell who owns them. There is also a lot of green country, because it rains almost every day!

Love, Tim
