Hi

Good to talk to you Sunday. Hope you are having a relaxing week off. We are finally a bit warmer altho with a terrible wind and I see that Budapest is also warm. I got a Burberry navy raincoat – it will have to last the rest of my life. As usual, I’m not sure about it. Must get busy for the party tonight. Hope you have a nice time with family.

Love

Hi

We made it OK – I am awfully tired, but must begin adjusting soon. Maybe I’ll get caught up with my correspondence. Don’t forget your typewriter in our apt.

Alex met us – they are going to Germany and Italy for this week. He was having back trouble. They needed to gt away!!

I’m missing you.

Hi

Thanks for the mail and the clippings about Brugges. We are having rain, rain, rain – about 40 degrees most of the time… We are having people over for coffee and wine this eve. A friend and I plowed around Centrum and Babylon yesterday looking for bargains or whatever. A good way to spend a rainy day. I sent you a sweater – hope you like it and can wear it. I’m have 16 ladies for lunch on Wed.

Cheers

Hi

Packing yesterday was awful – I have never been in such disarray. But we went out for a lovely relaxed dinner last eve and recovered our stamina a bit. Now, I’m going to just sleep and wander around at will. Sun is out today so I may make one last visit to the beach.

Hi

The office party was the best yet – they had made a slide show of “the Office” and it was a riot. We all were hysterical. But saying goodbye was very hard. Wish you were here – I would love to take you shopping!

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.
