Show It _L_ APOO. 37 2.3 *, 7 f 7- MANZAMLLO, COt, 3 Dec. 1974 MEXICO Dear Aziz and Lola, How wonderful it was to hear that you are at least contemplating a return iourney to the land of perpetual (well, almost) sunshine. It will be so nice to have you '/'.bout again...and the ceviche^boy is asking about you quite often. He wants to show off his Arabic numerals on you. "in fact the 'ouahid' is catching on since there are always people around the stand. The other day some boys came around selling sea shell trinkets, one of them said to me:"Ouahid bracelet?" I flipped, just as you did when you first heard the boy say:"Telata cevichei11 The only trouble is that I can only count up to 5 and eve the five I am not too sure about! But I can write them alii Although I expect this season will be'fairly quiet and with not too many tourists'I still would make a reservation as soon as possible. The hotel service has not inroroved but the prices have gone up. But one thing they canr.lt change" and that is the lovely beach in front i She latest price list I have shows a room for 2 to be <24 in the % hotel and 18 in the bungalows. Meals, and this is terrible, are 8 ner person additional^ If you will let me know approximately when you plan to come I can make a tentative reservation and then we will be sure to have you handy I You will meet a claes-mate of mine and his wife. They are coming for a few days at the Spa and ' then come down here with us. I am trying to find them a housekeeping «yf aptmt. difficult already for the high season. fee has recently ,3 retired as State Geologist for Kansas and for some time also was o Chairman of the G-eol. Dptmt. His specialty is underground water. ^ Was all through the Africa campaign finding water for the tropps, V put the water-system of Naples back in operation after we had destroyed^ it during the war. Remarkable how we have to repair our own damage1. gJ But isn't it fortunate that we do so? What really galls me is that ^ some countries insist on kicking us in the pants even after we have $ poured billions into their country. v Mother is out on the verandah with her field glasses 'helping1 the Q> big oil tanker to dock. She has an interest in everything. Now I > guess it must be safely docked for she has come in and is finishing her breakfast which, of course, is now cold.She is complaining that ^ to-day is a hazy day and we won't get much sun at the beach. Oh >3 yes, the Canadian doctor's wife was Inquiring about you yesterday "§Q when I went there to ask about aptmts. She was glad to know you will soon be returning. ^ Re returning via SLC I doubt we will be able to make it this time. We will be only as far South as Yellowstone and then must head a bit Morth ofEast to hit Fargo. I have to Prof. Peterson who is not at all well. He's had some heart attacks and is pretty well confined to his house. As you well know it is just impossible to see everyone although we do try'. Now I have just looked at the US map and have tyC reconsidered. It is only some 650 miles more and what we could do , would be to head South from Butte to SLC the back up North to Grand ~££ Tetons and Yellowstone.
