Arrived Ok, bumpy flight, 2 hours late. Bill met me – we have visited about everyone and everything. I hear your party was a success. Bill likes your cards. It’s cold here – daffodils in bloom but not tulips yet. Madurodam is going strong! I’m unpacked so off to bed.

Enkhuizen, Netherlands
July 1981
This place had a most interesting museum of old fishing boats and regalia of the time. We had a nice time in Luxembourg over the weekend. It’s a beautiful little country and city – full of castles, forts and mts. We were impressed with the war cemetery (U.S.) there also. It is beautifully done. Alicia went with us – she and Bill bought beautiful anarkin-type (?) coats on sale!
So nice to have jean here – I’ll probably arrive Minn. Aug. 21. Love, Va.

The family arrived at 4 pm yesterday but were in good spirits and all looked so nice. The girls seemed to feel at home right away – unpacked and organized their things! We ate supper, walked around the block, and they all fell into bed – are still asleep (11 am). Wish you were here ,too.

We’ve just had a delicious panekoke brunch. So good! Yesterday we took a picnic brunch and traveled up to Enkhuisen – ate on the shore of IJsselmeer, a beautiful spot. Then went on into the town and visited very interesting museum – the Zuiderzee Museum — many old boats and thing having to do with the sea. It was a lovely rip. Alicia went with us. Friday night we heard a lovely organ concert in a big church here. We’ve had beautiful weather.
