Heidelberg, Germany

July 1984

Surely you remember the biggest wine barrel in the world! Anyway, it is in the cellar of the Heidelberg castle and we climbed on top of it today, along with about a million other tourists. The town of H. is full of people, as well as rain – luckily it usually only rains hard when we are inside restaurants, Italian ice cream shops, and stores. Tomorrow we catch the train back to Holland – hope Va. is rested and ready for us again!

Strasbourg, France

Cathedral built in 1300 AD

May 1983

This cathedral is gorgeous with original stained glass (took it down during war) with a lovely organ even from 14th century. We had a tour of his pretty city and enjoyed it. Visited Heidelberg yesterday – lovely city but our guide lacked English ability. A great guide today who reminded me of Bronwyn – darling!

Cheers, Va

Hi

We are at the Sheraton Airport Hotel and have just checked out for our flight to Nairobi with direct connection (we hope) to Lilongue (Malawi). Our flight out of Minneapolis was cancelled on Tuesday so we just got here this am. We are rested and all is well.

Cologne, Germany

May, 1985 – on the Rhine

Hi

Isn’t this a magnificent church? We were in it again this am, admiring and enjoying it – so delicate and truly lovely. Parts date from the 1200’s. We had champagne last nite at the Captain’s party, then danced. We sailed all night from Nijmegen (Netherlands) to Cologne. We’ll visit a castle this eve., Heidelberg tomorrow. Wish you were here too.

Love
