Ancient Windmill at Motedor

Well I took a vacation to Portugal. Turns out should have come in March. It’s rained most of my 10 days. But it’s beautiful. Definitely not the US of A. We are so young aren’t we.

Hope you are well. I thought you would have an email address – not? Sorry it’s taken so long to write. Thanks for the Xmas present.

Hi

It’s hot here but not too bad. The drive thru the countryside along the river from LaCrosse was just beautiful. We ate a yogurt-fruit lunch along the Wisconsin River. First concert is tonite.

We got here ok – everyone seems to be visiting London – plane was full, London airport jammed mostly with Americans. We are in a very nice hotel, are pretty much caught up on sleep. Going to the British museum today, just will take it easy, off to Rome at noon tomorrow.

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!

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
