Visual Entertainment from Near and Far

Hi
How was vacating in Texas, y con su hermano? All the time I’ve been picturing myself in Nigeria. It’s fun here though, in fact fantastic (I know how much skiing excites you!).
Right now, you’re probably flying across the Atlantic, and my ankles hurt. It got up to about 70 degrees today and we were skiing in slush. Switzerland is getting it together for spring. I didn’t buy a white dress, but no regrets, see you manana.

Hi
After presenting my paper at noon I ate a quick lunch and headed for the beach. It was a beautiful day and I didn’t get too burned.

Hi
Had a tour yesterday of Roman ruins, mosques,shopping (got a rug!!) and I waded in the sea here and we had cold drinks in the “casbah” in the old fort behind! Hot but breezy – lots of old friends here. Many have asked about you.

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.

Sending you our love from Taichung!
The weather is lovely. We had a nice visit in Hong Kong with a niece and her family. Our friends are here also, though haven’t had a chance to meet them yet.

Hello from the Isle of Arran. It’s so pretty here but the driving is insane. I’m glad I just have to ride. We went to a distillery and I got a little bottle of scotch to drink tonight.

We did leave Mexico finally at 9:10 am by American and had a wonderful flight much better than Braniff. E. met us at customs and took us home for lunch and left there about 1:30. They had three inches of snow in San Antonio, first in 40 years. We arrived here at 5:15 and went to the Rodeo at the Astrodome last night. Doc and Festus were guest stars, Jimmy Dean is to be here the 28th – would have preferred him! Enjoying every minute still.
Love
Inside the Astrodome – this is the first thing you see when you enter the Astrodome Club. It is a bar 10 feet long, the longest in Texas. You can get yourself a drink, turn around and walk six steps, and enjoy what’s taking place down on the field.
The Astrodome opened in 1965 and was still in use for various things until the early 2000’s. It was the world’s first multi-purpose domed stadium.

Jakarta – August, 1988
Dear
We hope you are having a nice birthday! We are weekending in Jakarta in a lovely hotel, have been shopping in a wonderful dept. store – more than a whole floor of batiks. I could spend a week just looking! The guesthouse is full of Australians at the moment – interesting all and I’m not alone all day as I was at first. But I manage to keep busy.
Love and Kisses

Hi
We’re having fun seeing old friends and the sights. We went out to Alcatraz on Sunday and N started his seminar Monday. He seems to like it. I have been walking all over town and pretty much have the buses down. It’s good to be in California. It’s cool!
Love
(I think I was referring to the weather since I was living in Florida at the time…)
