Dear Barbara:

Rhodes is a heavenly place. It is so clean, the Greeks so kind and pleasant. The fruits and vegetables are lovely. The tomatoes and cucumbers are something else. We have a few melons and oranges in our room. On Monday we are going to the island of Symi for a week stay. It is a two-hour boat trip. After Symi we return to Rhodes then go to Crete and then to Athens for a flight to Spain.

The weather is hot and dry during the day and cool at nights. We need to wear a heavy wool sweater and blankets at night. The sea is many shades of blue and green. We have a constant companion Heidi a doctor from West Germany. We both love her and do everything together. She wants us to come to Berlin to visit her before we return to Montreal. No definite plans. Robert is such good company.

Discovering more and more about this place. We are very brown and healthy. I can’t get over how nice and kind people are here. Everything here is for the tourist. That is their living. One can live here for $5 or less a day. Going for a swim before breakfast and we have breakfast on our balcony.

Love Mom
