January 8, 1999

I'm just coming back from a wonderful trip with my beloved Ann to Venezuela and Ecuador. Uwelein, you were with us constantly, whether we walked through the dusty streets of Caracas or Quito, exploring the mysteries of the jungle or making friends with thousands of sea lions, birds, tortoises, iguanas in the Galápagos. I just hope that our pictures will be good enough that you will not tear them all! From your beloved Louise
