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.

It sure was good to visit with you yesterday. Glad I didn’t get you out of the shower this time. We are still having snow and quite cold weather, but we are driving to Amsterdam this evening to a concert with Isaac Stern as guest soloist. We’ll ge
t up early, have a bite of supper, then to the concert and right back home. We have season tickets for these concerts. Must get over to the post box.
Love to you, Dede

Hi
This is one of the many mosaics beautifully preserved in Jordan. Twas good visiting with you last week, hope the snow is abating. Yesterday the 2 Alicias and I went up north of Amsterdam to the Frisian Floral Fair and it was just fantastic. This whole building filled with flowers — mostly bulbs (tulips, crocus, daffodils) in every color of the rainbow (even black tulips!). We bought some sprouted bulbs to plant in pots inside which should bloom in 6 wks — we hope! Bill is due on Tuesday, we go to the St Martins in the Field concert in Amsterdam that nite. It is still hold here.
Love, Va.
