We arrived yesterday after a nice flight. We tried to get caught up on new clothes, hamburgers, and milk today! This is really a fabulous place – beautiful, too. We are staying in Kowloon with a nice view of Harbor, ships and Hong Kong.

Well, we aren’t in Mallaig anymore. We are in Oban. The weather at Mallaig was terrible. We went from there to Skye for a day trip and got drenched from head to foot. It was pretty bad on the trip down here, too, but today has been beautiful and sunny. We took a day trip today to Mull and Iona. Really nice. We have to do laundry tomorrow before we head to Glasgow. (We stayed in Mallaig about where this photo was taken from.)

Rec’d your card last night sorry I had planned on going home, but haven’t been home for so long the folks are awfully anxious to see me.

I am now sitting in the Stanley Hotel in Athens, Greece. We arrived on a sunny afternoon but now that sunny afternoon has evolved into clouds and prospects of rain. Tomorrow it’s a full day city tour. Sunday is Greek Independence Day – possible riots. We are sitting here enjoying the fact that we opted to not go to Russia. The Acropolis is really impressive in real life!

The Toronto Bluejays have their field two blocks from our house! I’m almost unpacked. Things are starting to shape up around here – now to job hunting.

This is the Lutheran Cathedral in Helsinki. It is very stark inside – all white. The prettiest thing about it is the organ. The statue is of Alexander 2 of Russia.
Liz was just here for a couple of days so we had a good time sitting in cafes and wandering around.
