Jakarta, September 1988

Hi

Would you consider this for your wedding? Or maybe your maid of honor could wear it! We are “R and R”ing in the big city this weekend. Our guesthouse is very nice, but we need a change of scenery and food, now and then. One of the team leaves for Texas this aft. so we road up with him. I have finished the petit point – how what to do with it?? Jakarta is HOT and HUMID compared to Bogor. But will enjoy anyway.

Hi

Our place is right in the middle of the photo just to the left of the church bell tower. It is wonderful, roof terrace and all! A bit windy today, but mostly very good weather.

Hi

Thanks for the mail and the clippings about Brugges. We are having rain, rain, rain – about 40 degrees most of the time… We are having people over for coffee and wine this eve. A friend and I plowed around Centrum and Babylon yesterday looking for bargains or whatever. A good way to spend a rainy day. I sent you a sweater – hope you like it and can wear it. I’m have 16 ladies for lunch on Wed.

Cheers

Hi

Having a wonderful time, wish you were here, etc. It is lovely here. We had coffee in the sun on the balcony this am. Now we’re heading for S.F. to take the boat to Alcatraz. Tell everyone “Hi”. I can’t wait to hear the latest when I get back.

Dear

My flight was OK. Full plane to Tokyo and two hour delay out of Tokyo but no problems. It is cool and raining here. My hotel is lovely. Haven’t seen much of the city yet but from my hotel room there are a lot of green trees and it looks nice.

Hi

Packing yesterday was awful – I have never been in such disarray. But we went out for a lovely relaxed dinner last eve and recovered our stamina a bit. Now, I’m going to just sleep and wander around at will. Sun is out today so I may make one last visit to the beach.

Hi

The office party was the best yet – they had made a slide show of “the Office” and it was a riot. We all were hysterical. But saying goodbye was very hard. Wish you were here – I would love to take you shopping!

Greetings from NDjamena (which used to be called Fort Lamy). Arrived here yesterday via Douala, Cameroon. It is hot — 95 degrees or more when we landed. We will be here until Saturday when we fly to Paris for a connection to Abidjan. A long way around but much shorter in time. Hope all is well and will see you soon.

Hi

This is the outside of the church pictured below. We’ve had a nice time. Back to Den Haag today. See you soon.

Hi

This is a very beautiful city- and this church espec. lovely. It has a colorful tile roof also. It is small and rather cozy. The big church is St Stephen and is cold and unimpressive inside. We did a city tour yesterday, will do museums today, hope for a boat trip on the Danube and to go to opera Sun.

Love
