senders message:

Hi Grandpa, We're not in Africa yet but we are on our way! This is a picture of the largest Sanddune in Europe. It still has signs of the war-concrete bunkers and piles of barbed wire almost buried by the sand. The Europeans always just leave everything the way it was. We are touring the West Coast of France heading toward Spain. We spent 3 weeks in Worms, Germany buying a van and tasting wine! 1962 Red Transporter (named the Overland Oven!) Cost $250. AND passed German INSPECTION.
Love Linda & Wayne
