Hi
This looks sort of like Bangkok, no? But it is a beautiful old building. We have had a lovely time with beautiful weather. We’ll be seeing you before you get this but it can be added to your collection of cards. We’re looking forward to seeing you.
Love and kisses, Va.

Had a nice evening with Bob, Angela and family last night. Angelica is cute but spoiled. Off to the airport.

Le mando esta postal de Rio de Janeiro, estuve un poco triste porque no pude despedirme de usted, fui a su casa el Domingo en la noche, pero no habia nadie en casa.
Aprovecho esta, para desearle a la Sra. muchos felicidades por el Dia de la Madre. Ustedes fueron muy buenos conmigo y me ayudaron bastante, espero corresponderles si van al Peru.
Permanecere in Brazil solo 15 dias, al 14 de Mayo estare en Peru. Me despido un amigo que siempre los recuerda, Julio.

Have been to Pyminmana and all still well there. Everyone sends love and best wishes. I am well and enjoying it all but remembering to be myself.
For now, Love, Bill

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

We spent a week on the Big Island with siblings and other friends. Always nice to be here. We are leaving now for Honolulu to spend another week. It was so nice to see you in May. All of the children will come to McAllen for Xmas, but there will be only 1 night with everyone.

This beautiful waterfall took its name from many rainbows seen when the sun catches the mist below the falls. It is located in the Wailuku River State Park Hilo.

We had a nice time in Accra (bought more pretty material for shirts, caftans, chair covers, etc.) and are now enjoying this modern very French city. It is really lovely weather altho our hotel is freezing with air conditioning. Bill is having meetings and we are eating lots of croissants!
Love, Dede

La Push, WT. Beautiful spot and I am having fun. Temp is half of what it is in Phoenix. Gotta love it. Much driving – working on the pancake butt. Looks like I won’t be up in August, but I’m considering early Oct. Done w/school on August 11 – work? school? travel? Give me a hint, please! Hope all is good w/you. When’s your next trip west?
Miss you, Love, Shelly
Giant fir log from the forests of Western Washington. This log is 11 1/2 feet across the butt and contained 13,700 board feet. The logging crew shown here was proud of this one.
