Dear Bob & Louise
Having a beautiful time but time all too short. Eating like a you know what, Seeing so many but not time enough for all & without a car it is not so good. As you know I hate to put people out- this card is from a place I have eaten at once. Good. Look forward to seeing all. Getting new glasses trifocals. Hope they work-
