Dear Barbara: What a gorgeous place and what perfect weather. It is heaven here. I was up early this morning, put my old Hush Puppies on and I am sure I walked 10 miles through all the winding streets. I looked in many of the store windows. I sat down for a cold beer. IContinue reading “Travels to a Different Time: Travels of My Mother: ? February1971: Palma de Mallorca, Spain: Thoughts on Spanish Men”

Dear Boys; It’s Sunday and I have no doubt in the world. The church chimes started at 7 a.m. and rang every 15 minutes. They seemed to be saying AND DON’T YOU FORGET IT! Please do not throw out this envelope. I expect to be here for two weeks. Please write me TONIGHT and beContinue reading “Travels to a Different Time: Travels of My Mother: ?February1971: Palma de Mallorca, Spain and Amsterdam, Holland”

Dear Boys: Just having a rest before going down to dinner. Tired from all the walking I am doing. I went to the other side of the island with a couple my age. They are from New Jersey. We shared the expenses. Honestly, I have never seen such a beautiful country. The lemon trees areContinue reading “Travels to a Different Time: Travels of My Mother: ?

Dear Barb: I went to the bank at 9:30 this morning to get my money situation fixed up and then I went to the market and bought 4 oranges huge and delicious for four cents. I ate some Mallorcian dish at a stand with a little beer for 39 cents. You should see this marketContinue reading “Travels to a Different Time: Travels of My Mother: ?

Dear Barb: And what a night. V.T. the ATS hostess whom I insist you must write to thank for her being so good to me gave me a ticket to the welcoming BBQ for the incoming tour. A women’s conference. Sure pick the winners but some had their sons there. Mostly dear old women likeContinue reading “Travels to a Different Time: Travels of My Mother: ? February1971: Palma de Mallorca, Spain”

Dear Boys: Tomorrow I am heading for Frankfurt. I have had a wonderful time here but am getting a twinge of homesickness so had better get around to my business if I want to see Holland. I had my hair done today and I look like a Spanish Senorita-hair too high. I don’t like it.Continue reading “Travels to a Different Time: Travels to a Different Time: 4February1971: Palma de Mallorca, Spain”
“Travels to a Different Time” : 14 & 15 September 2022 Athens: Hanging on
We must move from Inn Athens to Home Sweet Home Athens as the room was only available for two nights. The ankle is now a shiny red and gleaming and yes more pain. It is very frustrating and tiring. Spent the day in bed reading. The hotel room is very 1970’s except the bathroom hasContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 14 & 15 September 2022 Athens: Hanging on”
“Travels to a Different Time” : 13September2022: Mr. Handicapped in Nightmare Alley: Thessaloniki and Athens, Greece
The ankle has worsened. Fotini went down for breakfast. I have not eaten in two days. Packed up and limped to the waiting car to Thessaloniki Airport. Again on the wheelchair all the way into the plane. Me and a 90-year-old grandmother hoisted on the plane. Very dispiriting. A smooth 45-minute flight to Athens onContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 13September2022: Mr. Handicapped in Nightmare Alley: Thessaloniki and Athens, Greece”
“Travels to a Different Time” : 12September2022: Knee Fine but Ankle No! 9,000 German Deaths: Thessaloniki Greece
The pain in the knee has disappeared but overnight a pain in the ankle. What a pain in the ass! I am a Hop Along Cassidy and in excruciating pain. Nothing works not even the Dicoflex cream from the compounding pharmacy which I had to cease taking due to an adverse reaction being a rashContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 12September2022: Knee Fine but Ankle No! 9,000 German Deaths: Thessaloniki Greece”
