Sara sends this gridded vehicle card from the National Council of Teachers of English convention in the mile-high city. She reports that 19 books are returning home with her. Nearly as many as the number of cars on this card.
Sara sent me a postcard from Arcata that traveled home with her from Scotland.
She reports that she brought home more traditional stationary from the place where they stayed while in Scotland for her cousin’s wedding but thought a quick “hi!” might be nice.
It was!
I enjoy these retro-style postcards.
Sara says that tomorrow (8/25) is the first day of classes. And that she and Shawn leave for Scotland on 8/26.
While at the de Young, Sara really liked this painting by Richard Diebenkom.
I love when a favorite painting is also represented in postcard in gift shops!
Thanks to the Humboldt fog, Sara’s plane could not land and was routed back to SFO. She got to spend the night in San Francisco. She went to the de Young museum for some good art the next day before her flight.
Sara writes:
Seems like…
…MIXED messaging!
Also that Pocatello was hot, but that it was fun to see family.
Sara started her Idaho visit in our former hometown of (you guessed it) Boise, Idaho.
She reports balmy weather and errand running with her mom. Both good Boise things.
This must have arrived on 7/3; there is no mail delivery on 7/4.
Sara writes from the Harris wedding weekend, specifically from the Flying M. The barista apparently was dressed in a full Lord Byron–style cravat and vest. Very fun!
The Engelszell Monastery makes Trappist beer, and Sara and traveling party tasted some on this day.
Aside from this view of the choir stall and organ, Sara reported the presence of a sweet church kitty. Always a plus!
I guess we know that Prague’s postal service is more efficient than Vienna’s as this was posted 5 days earlier than the Prague postcards, but arrived a day later.
Sara says that they saw not only “the Kiss” but also a lot of Klimt’s other work on the first of their two days in Vienna. The second day, she and Shawn planned to explore on their own.
