Singapore
We got this card on the airplane yesterday – we are Not in Tokyo. Singapore is a lovely city – we toured it today and will take a tour of the harbor in the morning. It is one of the largest shipping harbors in the world. Off to Indonesia tomorrow aft – again on JAL. Bill had a nice Bday yesterday – dinner and dancing in the eve!

Hi
In case you can’t tell — I’m the one in the striped shirt on the patio and I think that is Virginia (?) I’m helping with breakfast!

Visited this temple this morning. Two jade Buddhas, this one and the other one I sent were brought from Burma. Visited the museum this afternoon. Very nice celedon and lovely bronze. Bronze 4000 years old. We leave for Xian in a short time, all well.

It’s a beautiful morning here. I wish you were with me. I’m now going to breakfast and then at 9:00 we are driving to Antigua. We will (or I will) relax by the pool here tomorrow and then at 5:00 pm we will go back to Salvador.
Love, Bill

All has gone well but needed more time in this country. It reminds me in many ways of Nigeria. we are off to Manila today and I will try to phone you this weekend. I had nice time in Waipukurau – Guess I wrote that.

Hi
I’ve been thinking about you a lot while in India. Hopefully all went well. We’re having a wonderful time. Bombay has actually turned out to be quite romantic – riots and all! Stephen asked me to marry him in front of the Taj Mahal at dawn – romantic, huh? Anyway, I said yes so please plan a trip in May for the wedding.
Love, Jane

A cloudy “threatening” day and the light is wonderful. We like better than sunshine. Maybe our best day yet but everything has been Great. We are in a story book village – our Apt built 16th century with modern plumbing. Girls are good travelers. Malia’s advance in French is visible! Both are so helpful to this ancient one.
Love, Katherine

Hi
So you have this card in your collection? Are you swimming every day now?
Have fun – Love, Bill

Hi
This is a great spot – everything very slow and relaxed! We only wish you and the boys were here, too. Not much surf, so even I am enjoying the sea. Bill goes to Montserrat (another island nearby) tomorrow to stay overnight so I hope to get my Christmas cards done.
Love, Mom
