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.

Hi
Good to talk to you Sunday. Hope you are having a relaxing week off. We are finally a bit warmer altho with a terrible wind and I see that Budapest is also warm. I got a Burberry navy raincoat – it will have to last the rest of my life. As usual, I’m not sure about it. Must get busy for the party tonight. Hope you have a nice time with family.

Dear Friends
It is hard to believe I’m in Italy – we flew over to be with Gay on her 2 weeks vacation after working at the US Embassy for a month – Rome is a fabulous city with its ruins, museums, parks, fountains, pines, etc. We drove to Florence yesterday and it is a most interesting historical city also. We are going to Venice before flying back to Washington together.
Best wishes

Hi
We made it OK – I am awfully tired, but must begin adjusting soon. Maybe I’ll get caught up with my correspondence. Don’t forget your typewriter in our apt.
Alex met us – they are going to Germany and Italy for this week. He was having back trouble. They needed to gt away!!
I’m missing you.

We really enjoyed this museum today. We thought this plane might look familiar, ye? It is hot and humid here.

Hi
Our place is right in the middle of the photo just to the left of the church bell tower. It is wonderful, roof terrace and all! A bit windy today, but mostly very good weather.

Hi
Thanks for the mail and the clippings about Brugges. We are having rain, rain, rain – about 40 degrees most of the time… We are having people over for coffee and wine this eve. A friend and I plowed around Centrum and Babylon yesterday looking for bargains or whatever. A good way to spend a rainy day. I sent you a sweater – hope you like it and can wear it. I’m have 16 ladies for lunch on Wed.
Cheers

Drove past here today in bright blue skies. Spending time driving around Scotland. Have seen some beautiful scenery and had perfect weather. We are now heading south to the Lake District and home on the 21st. Hope all is OK.

Hi
Packing yesterday was awful – I have never been in such disarray. But we went out for a lovely relaxed dinner last eve and recovered our stamina a bit. Now, I’m going to just sleep and wander around at will. Sun is out today so I may make one last visit to the beach.

Hi
The office party was the best yet – they had made a slide show of “the Office” and it was a riot. We all were hysterical. But saying goodbye was very hard. Wish you were here – I would love to take you shopping!
Love
