Villa Carlotta, Lake Como
In June, 2014, I spent a week on Lake Como and took the photo below. We didn’t go in but had a lovely dinner at a place down the street.
Tremezzo, Italy
Rome, Italy
December, 1983
We just got back from Rome – had a glorious time sightseeing, window shopping (elegant!), eating pasta, drinking cappuccinos several times per day. We had a good time. Rome is history, chaotic, beautiful and fun. I got black boots and postcards – nothing else. Wish you had been there too.
Love.
Chartres, France
February 1974
We made it to Chartres today and both liked it very much. We took the train out and spent about two hours wandering around the church and museum. Time has flown by. Weather has been mostly ok. Will write letter with details.
Love
Granada, Spain
1984
Above is a postcard of the Patio of the Lions gallery at the Alhambra in Granada. I spent two glorious days at the Alhambra. Below is a photo I took of the lions.
Cosmonauts Day
April 12 is International Day of Human Space Flight. It commemorates the anniversary of the first human manned space flight buy Yuri Gargarin on April 12, 1961. Gargarin was 27 years old and he circled the Earth for 1 hour and 48 minutes.
Here I am holding my child up against the statue of Yuri Gargarin in Moscow, Russia. I love that statue.
Venice, Italy
July 1976
Well, here I am, about halfway on my trip to Europe. Left home two months ago and if things go well, will still be here another month and a half. Would have sent word earlier but lost my address book and had to wait for somebody to send me your address. Hope all is well with you. You will be hearing from me again.
Lots of love
Western Ireland
The Burren Region of north-west Clare of Blackhead, between Fenore and Ballybaughan on the Atlantic Coast.
I took this when I was there is 2019:
Santorini, Greece
In 1973, I rode a donkey up that zig zag road. It was not my best moment. But the view from the top was spectacular.
London, England
July, 1980
Last week we took a tour of Parliament rather than have class. It was interesting. We’ve seen a couple of plays – the other night Shakespeare in an outdoor theatre. Today we took a bus to Stonehenge. Needless to say I am keeping busy.
Love
The Hague, Holland
August, 1981
This is a picture of the Queen’s refurbished castle in the Hague (Paleis Huis ten Bosch). She and family are moving in today so flags are flying, there is music and dancing all over the city. A “tub race” is going on in the park near my apartment. I’m going to walk over and see what it is.
Love
