"MEMOS."

Thurs. Nov. 13

Woke up at 8:30. Don still sleeping at 10:45. We will see no more of Paris today. Check out of room at 11:45. Buy pictures of Paris for us and friends. Walk down the Rue de la Congress one last time to buy pastries (an Eclair for Don and a Napoleon for me). Eating fried pastry while walking down a French boulevard is like a dream come true. Take bus to Charles De Gaulle Airport - a really nice place - lots of people movers. Bought small gifts at duty free shop for Keith and Sandra. Chocolates are so expensive you can spend over $250.00 for a large box. Flight to London nice, we were served a snack on the plane - caviar, pate, shrimp, fruit, cheese, tiny pastries and champagne. One last taste of France!
Arrive in London at 2:35. Our small black suit case is missing. Air France gives us nice cases filled with necessities and promises to try to track down the bag. Had my first cup of tea in England. Next stop New Castle. Met by Keith and Sandra Bohill at airport. New Castle is 900 years old, but hard to see at night. Flat is in Whitburn Village, very old town - beautiful. Keith and Sandra take us to dinner. Had a drink of straight malt whiskey - very good. Dinner was lamb cooked with small onions and carrots in a wine flavored sauce, potatoes and assorted cooked vegetables. Crepes Normandy for dessert (crepes filled with applesauce). After dinner we drove back along the North Sea. Stopped to see cliffs that used to hide pirates - now a pub and restaurant on that spot.

(Note: The next page contains an address for Keith and Sandra in England. It's now 30 years old, but I'm thinking of writing them.)
