Greetings from Holland

1993

My feet hurt from all the walking but we are having a fun time. Plan to go to Gouda for a day trip. Otherwise, just shopping, museums, and cafes on the canals. It is really hot. It was 27 degrees C when we landed yesterday and it was up there again today.

Love, Kathy

Bill went to Frankfurt this am for a meeting with Alex for a few hours. Will return tomorrow. We are having winter (50 degrees F). Five of us “trained ” to Leist (east of Utrecht) to the Stoops for dinner last Wed. in honor of Alicia’s leaving. We had such a good time – Rene Devored was along. A real Dutch eve. Tim seems to be having a nice holiday with Astra in S. Dak! Jean said she had a nice letter from you. She hasn’t been very well recently, but is working.

Hope you are okay. Love, Va
