Dear Kay
Enjoying this wonderful journey! Burma is a great country – history, people, countryside, art and architecture. Now looking forward to Cambodia and the rest of Thailand. Hope all is well with you.

Happy New Year! We are having a great time in India. It is definitely an adventure here, you never know what is going to happen tomorrow. The Taj Mahal was amazing. Stunning from every angle and so peaceful compared with all the people and honking on the street and sidewalks.
Love, Kelly
Pretty much everybody has been to the Taj Mahal but me.
Here is a photo my father took in the early 1950’s.

Enroute Tokyo. I just lost a day in crossing the Intl. Date Line. Maybe someday I can make it up. I doubt that I will get to Nikko to see this shrine on the trip but we have a picture of you there. Hope you got your auto insurance ok.
Love, Bill
As you can see we made several trips to Japan…

We got this card on the airplane yesterday – we are Not in Tokyo. Singapore is a lovely city – we toured it today and will take a tour of the harbor in the morning. It is one of the largest shipping harbors in the world. Off to Indonesia tomorrow aft – again on JAL. Bill had a nice Bday yesterday – dinner and dancing in the eve!

Visited this temple this morning. Two jade Buddhas, this one and the other one I sent were brought from Burma. Visited the museum this afternoon. Very nice celedon and lovely bronze. Bronze 4000 years old. We leave for Xian in a short time, all well.

All has gone well but needed more time in this country. It reminds me in many ways of Nigeria. we are off to Manila today and I will try to phone you this weekend. I had nice time in Waipukurau – Guess I wrote that.

Bombay, India
Hi
I’ve been thinking about you a lot while in India. Hopefully all went well. We’re having a wonderful time. Bombay has actually turned out to be quite romantic – riots and all! Stephen asked me to marry him in front of the Taj Mahal at dawn – romantic, huh? Anyway, I said yes so please plan a trip in May for the wedding.
Love, Jane

The trip has been fascinating. Today we went to the famous archeological digs in Xian. They’ve uncovered thousands of clay figures each one different and life-size. A few days ago we went to the Great Wall – it’s the only man-made object that can be seen from the moon. Right now, I’m on a train headed for Luoyang which is known for its historical caves. I don’t really like the food.
Love, Rachel
