We just arrived from Santo Domingo. It’s good to be in USA again! Hope you are all ok.

Hotel Racquet Club. Isla Verde, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The sophisticated charm of this Racquet Club lobby is evident in the lush, green plantings and rich, wood paneling. A six acre estate setting the Hotel Raquet Club presents an olympic pool, beach, 8 cork-turf tennis courts, (lights for night play), entertainment and dancing nightly, superb cuisine and beautiful accommodations.
Located two minutes from the International Airport Tocumen and twenty minutes from the City of Panama.
This is a popular place, I have three postcards like this one.

We finally landed 1/2 hr. late last night – then to a nice small dinner party where they had a 3 week old baby boy. I’m going to Dr. with his parents for a check this am, then to their house for lunch. The weather is beautiful. Pool looks great!

The new Barbados Hilton, built on the site of Ft. Charles, has 158 charming guest rooms, garden cottages, and suites. Situated on this spectacular beach-front site, the hotel recaptures the old fort’s flavor through its native coral limestone structure and colonnaded courts. It is truly a hotel designed for those who appreciate and are at home with the finest.

Nairobi is blue sky, warm, clean and lovely as always. I relaxed by the pool this noon and thought of the nice day we had there among many others. I’m back to Lagos on Tues.

Greetings! it has been a lovely sunny weekend here. I didn’t see any animals. I just rested, read and walked around. Today I’m going to Tanzania for a week. I hope all is well with you and wish you were here.

We are in Ibiza and the sun is shining as usual and it is warm though the sea is rough today but we went swimming anyway. We have a nice view of the Mediterranean from our hotel room and just have to walk down the hill to the rocks in order to swim. It is crowded though, with hippies and Germans and French and the seaside often looks like Coney Island. We are staying in a pension that overlooks the Med. and we can watch planes take off and land – a busy airport. Day after tomorrow will go to a bullfight here – Cordobes! is fighting. Hope they have good bulls but fear the reverse.
Love, Tim

We are in Madrid relaxing in hotel room. Have been to the Prado and a bullfight. One matador cut on ear but none did very well. If ind I have forgotten much spanish but we get along. On Tus. we will go to Ibiza for about a week and then fly back to Germany. Should be relaxed and sunned by then. Spend a couple more days here and see Toledo and the Escorial. Hope you are all faring well and not too travel-weary.
Love, Tim
