Nigeria

“Nigeria, the most populous single African national on the continent of Africa lies off the west coast and has a rich tradition and culture closely connected with her religious beliefs and the rites and practices relating to them. Traditional religion has given the people a heritage of culture and tradition which is still noticeable despite later influence by Islam and Christianity. The agriculture, music, art, craft, language and economies of the country still bear traces of this influence.”

This was printed and published by a company in Dublin, Ireland. Around 1985 (?)

Dear

T & J got here about 4 hours late but happy and not too tired. We are gradually hearing about their trip to Europe, their life in Australia.

You can see Bill’s office at the top right of the photo.

Hope you are well, Love, Dede

January 1985 Den Haag

Hi

we got back ok without problems. Kees met us with 2 boquets of flowers – in his big snowboots! It is col, snowy and foggy… sot of whitish everywhere. They are skating on our canal beneath our bedroom window and have plans for the 400 km race on the canals of Friesland this eek if ti stays cold. It is not as low templ as Minn. but seems chillier beacuse of the dampness, I guess.

Love, Va
