Dear Boys:
Don’t throw envelopes out as I want to save the stamps.
I am sitting in the sun and is 85 degrees. I wish I brought some lighter clothes. I have had such a nice time-today I visited the castle bult in 1300. I walked to it and it was a long one. I was exhausted upon reaching it and forced myself to go through it. It is at the top of the city. The magnificence of their castle you wouldn’t believe. Entrance fee was 18 cents. I took the bus down and that cost three cents.
For lunch a steak, mushrooms, creamed spinach and coffee for $1. So good I have my appetite back. I then bought a silver thimble for Diane.
I think everyone must buy a pair of Spanish shoes. I bought a pair today, such beautiful soft leather in two shades of brown.
Today I saw men lugging coal. They must have hotels so ancient. Just talked to the waiter and he said they did.
Just woke up and it is almost 11.
Don’t forget the meat in the freezer. The oranges are huge and I bought a bag for 18 cents. I eat a couple each day. So juicy when you eat them the juice squirts everywhere.
I miss you both very much. I wish you could share all this with me. It is very hard to be alone. I saw a mother with two of her boys. I think she was from England and it nearly made me cry. I will be coming home my goodness I have seen so many things here. Last night I went out with V.T. the lady who is in charge of the American tour. We had a wonderful dinner together. She is Barb’s age. Her father died 5 years ago. She has been very good to me. She has invited to several of the tour parties for free.
Well dears that is all for today. I miss you.
Love Mum
