Edinburgh, Scotland

September 1979

Hi

I have just finished the “city bus tour” – 4 hrs of assimilating history, tramping thru castles (real ones) and churches, and looking at glorious views. This is a lovely city and I’m greatly impressed with the natural beauty – at least from the airport here by bus – about 60 miles. Hope you got home ok.

Love

Here is a photo I took when I was there in 1980.

Hi

We have been having a great time here with Liz. They still have lots of snow but it has been beautiful weather. Went to see Braveheart tonight – it was great!

Here is a photo I took of the neighborhood where we stayed.

And a few others around town.

Lugano, Switzerland

Lugano-Paradiso. Monte Bre

May 1973

Dear

This is the view from our balcony! Very resort-like! Warm.. flowers everywhere. We went to the top of San Salvatore this morn. on a cog railroad…the view was lovely. Have just finished eating lunch and are waiting to take a boat trip on the lake. Bill has dental app. so he is not going. Kathy and Jane are not going either. Yesterday we left Zurich at 7 am and the ride through the Alps was fantastic! Just unbelievable!! We got here about 10 am and went to Kathy’s school, she showed us around…then came back to hotel with us. We took a walk along the lake after lunch and rested in aft. The hotel has a nice pool. It is so nice to be with people who can help us with language problems, ordering food, etc. So far the kids are getting along fine. Steve even said he was glad he came!

Love

Notre Dame, Paris

Notre-Dame et le Jardin de l’Archeveche. “Vu du ciel par Alain Perceval”

Den Haag, January, 1983

Isn’t this a good photo? So much nice detail. Our guests left yesterday and we have been sleeping mostly since. I think they had a good time and got a bit “educated”. We hope you had a good trip to California and that you are back with a new lease on life. We missed you on our trip.

Love

(The roof was destroyed by fire in 2019. Restoration is due to begin soon.)

Here I am in front of Notre Dame in 1999.

Saint-Raphael, France

La Cote d’Azur, La plage et la Terrasse des Bains

June, 1973

You can imagine the beautiful view our room has. It is delightful weather – the Mediterranean is so blue today. Walked across the road and down to the beach this morning – we all got a little sunburned, I’m afraid. Have been resting and washing our clothes this afternoon. We looked through some of the shops and all had delicious pizza later.

Love

Here I am sun bathing in my new French bathing suit on the beach in Saint-Raphael.
