Alan's postcard home to a friend:

"Dear Kent and family,

I am having a great time over here. The art museums in Amsterdam and Paris were fantastic, especially the impressionistic ones. In Amsterdam there is a new Van Gogh museum holding over 95% of his works including over 200 paintings. The impressionistic museum in Paris has I think the best collection of Monet and Renoir in the world. We got Mark his prints and I have bought some for myself too. We are now on are [sic] way up to the Jungfrau. It's a perfect day and the view is fantastic. We have had very few days of rain, about (5). The food and beer has generally been very good. Prices are the same or higher than in the U.S. See you when we return.
