Have been to Pyminmana and all still well there. Everyone sends love and best wishes. I am well and enjoying it all but remembering to be myself.
For now, Love, Bill

Here we are in the middle of South Dakota at Al’s Oasis Inn watching a Dracula movie on Saturday night – Allie and Val are screaming but it is really a comedy! So far we have seen the Corn Palace and lots of farmland. Astra is traveling well as usual. Tomorrow we will go on to the Badlands for a night and then to the Back Hills. Allie and Val have been saving their allowances and have been to two gift shops already, while Astra and I wait elsewhere. We had a good time at Valleyfair, the amusement park, with Tom and Jenny on Thursday before we left – spent 10 hrs there!
Hope all is well in Europe.
Love, Tim

We spent a week on the Big Island with siblings and other friends. Always nice to be here. We are leaving now for Honolulu to spend another week. It was so nice to see you in May. All of the children will come to McAllen for Xmas, but there will be only 1 night with everyone.

This beautiful waterfall took its name from many rainbows seen when the sun catches the mist below the falls. It is located in the Wailuku River State Park Hilo.

We had a nice time in Accra (bought more pretty material for shirts, caftans, chair covers, etc.) and are now enjoying this modern very French city. It is really lovely weather altho our hotel is freezing with air conditioning. Bill is having meetings and we are eating lots of croissants!

La Push, WT. Beautiful spot and I am having fun. Temp is half of what it is in Phoenix. Gotta love it. Much driving – working on the pancake butt. Looks like I won’t be up in August, but I’m considering early Oct. Done w/school on August 11 – work? school? travel? Give me a hint, please! Hope all is good w/you. When’s your next trip west?
Miss you, Love, Shelly

Tell Kathy this is Halve’s Colombian cousin. Alas, I leave tomorrow directly to New York. Come to us in New York, we mustn’t lose each other.

We got this card on the airplane yesterday – we are Not in Tokyo. Singapore is a lovely city – we toured it today and will take a tour of the harbor in the morning. It is one of the largest shipping harbors in the world. Off to Indonesia tomorrow aft – again on JAL. Bill had a nice Bday yesterday – dinner and dancing in the eve!

Hi
In case you can’t tell — I’m the one in the striped shirt on the patio and I think that is Virginia (?) I’m helping with breakfast!

Visited this temple this morning. Two jade Buddhas, this one and the other one I sent were brought from Burma. Visited the museum this afternoon. Very nice celedon and lovely bronze. Bronze 4000 years old. We leave for Xian in a short time, all well.
Love, Bill
