Antigua, BWI

January 1970

Hi

This is a great spot – everything very slow and relaxed! We only wish you and the boys were here, too. Not much surf, so even I am enjoying the sea. Bill goes to Montserrat (another island nearby) tomorrow to stay overnight so I hope to get my Christmas cards done.

Love, Mom

Trinidad, West Indies

January, 1970

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.

Love

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.
