Greetings from Vienna
It is indeed a beautiful city and this morning I wandered round some of the old bits behind the Opera House and St Stephen’s Cathedral. The air is so fresh and the trees are still in their spring greenery.
I did enjoy meeting you both and having the freedom of your home. Very many thanks for your welcome and hospitality, and I don’t forget so let me know if you are to be anywhere near Aberdeen.
All good wishes to you.

Dear
We are having a wonderful time. We’ve enjoyed the magic of the Opera House – the Sydney Symphony last week and this week the Ballet. See you soon.

This music is just great – last nite we went to a sort of calypso concert… I got me a new bathing suit and some white slacks. Dresses are really short here! Tomorrow we’re off to Madrid. Brrr.

The steel bands, like the calypso singing of Trinidad are world famous. The instruments fashioned from tops of steel drums and other discarded pieces are capable of rendering fine music under the skillful fingers of local players.

Hello from Wisconsin! We spent a good day skiing yesterday and are going out on the dog sled today. See you soon.

Sawatdee!
Having a marvelous time in Thailand. My friend has been here several times and makes an excellent guide. Toured temples today and an elephant ride. Will go to the Burmese border tomorrow and think of you.

We are canoeing on Lake Swiftcurrent today which is only a .2 mile portage away from Lake Josephine. Others were on horses seeing another lake. The weather is not great – mucho rain and there is still lots of snow in the park in some of the campsites! But the scenery is beautiful – Real mountains. So far have seen 3 or 4 deer, chipmunks, rabbits, jays and 1 bear (from a distance!).

Magnificent Mt. Gould and the Garden Wall are the backdrop for Lake Josephine. Less than one mile hike, or a short boat ride, take the visitor to the beautiful lake, one of 250 in Glacier National Park. The unique flower, Beargrass, is a member of the Lily family, and can be found in nearly all areas of the park.

Today we are actually in Turtle Mountain Provincial Park, near the Int’l Peace Gardens on the North Dakota border where we used to come from Fargo long ago. Riding Mountain has lovely lakes and trails, but many hungry mosquitoes. We started our Canadian travels at Lake Winnipeg, just north of Winnipeg, at a wonderful sand beach with real dunes. The camp site, however, had even more mosquitoes than Riding Mountain! (so far I’ve only gotten two bites at Turtle Mountain – comparative heaven…) tomorrow we will head home.

Niagara Falls was shrouded in mist and a bit of rain when we saw it but still very impressive, though the town looked like a State Fair arcade. We made it to the Cape through mountains of traffic – it is all rather crowded. After three beautiful days of sun and beaching it is raining like crazy today and so we are playing cards and reading while the dog sleeps to celebrate her 4th birthday. Hope you had a fun trip to Michigan!

Dear
It was so good talking to you. We received your good letter today. I’m taking the train back to Wisconsin tomorrow evening. New York has finally cooled off a little bit – hope Camp has, too! We have seen two plays and three very funny movies. I bought books to take as presents. Some for you too. Do you like this card? It is by a famous painter. He likes bullfights!

Greetings from Sydney!
Such a beautiful city – and weather’s so pleasant. Have I written to you from Melbourne? Hope so. Thanks for your letter and picture.
Happy Valentine’s Day
