Accepta este pequeno presente como recuerdo de mi patria y que tengues una feliz navidad y que el ano venidero sea dicha y prosperidad y que todos tus angelos se cumplan es el deseo de un amigo Peruano.

How is life? I meant to write to you earlier but have been so busy looking after my brood with no nanny and steward!! I have almost finished shopping. We are arriving on the 18th Sept by lunch time. My husband has gone back. This summer he was coming going all the time! Next year I will not allow holidays with business!

Remember me to all, Manju

This close-up view of the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, in St James’s Park, captures a moment in the daily ceremony of the Changing of the Queen’s Guard. It is a colourful occasion much loved by Londoners and visitors alike.

Hi

SF has been awesome! We have gotten to go all over the city except for golden gate park. La Toque was fabulous and going to Fort Ross was fun. Highway 1 was a bit scary though. I quite liked it here and would like to visit again!

Love, Noah

Happy Holidays

Dear

This is to hope that your Christmas is a little merrier this year and that the New Year will hold many new joys for you. Thank you for the beautiful holiday greeting that you sent me, it was the first and only one I have gotten so far. My family send its love to you and your family. I hope you will write me again soon.

Love, Lora

This music is just great – last nite we went to a sort of calypso concert… I got me a new bathing suit and some white slacks. Dresses are really short here! Tomorrow we’re off to Madrid. Brrr.

Love

The steel bands, like the calypso singing of Trinidad are world famous. The instruments fashioned from tops of steel drums and other discarded pieces are capable of rendering fine music under the skillful fingers of local players.

It was so good talking to you. We received your good letter today. I’m taking the train back to Wisconsin tomorrow evening. New York has finally cooled off a little bit – hope Camp has, too! We have seen two plays and three very funny movies. I bought books to take as presents. Some for you too. Do you like this card? It is by a famous painter. He likes bullfights!

Hi

Good to talk to you Sunday. Hope you are having a relaxing week off. We are finally a bit warmer altho with a terrible wind and I see that Budapest is also warm. I got a Burberry navy raincoat – it will have to last the rest of my life. As usual, I’m not sure about it. Must get busy for the party tonight. Hope you have a nice time with family.

Hello and Howdy!

I got this postcard whilst slumming the other day in San Antonio. Let’s go to Mexico this summer. I’m not going to be working except hopefully playing in a band this summer and I got the Mexico itch (oh no!). Lez go! Hey – we can take my car this time… How about an expense -paid musician too?
