Dear Family,
Hi! Well -- Right now Bunny & I should be in Anacortes [Washington] but we missed the Greyhound bus! And we got up at 4:00 A.M. this morning! The thing of it was that we got on the earliest city bus at five after six. The silly thing kept making all these stops. I mean real stops -- like pull over & stop for about five minutes. We got to the bus station about 6:37, bus left at 6:30. We bought our tickets then came back to Bunny's house. Now our plans are to get the 5:50 bus to Anacortes, spend the night there, then take the 8:00 ferry to Victoria [British Columbia]. We are going to leave here about 4:00 this afternoon so we'll be sure to get that 5:50 bus.
Yesterday we all went to Seattle Center, etc. etc. Have you heard of Sick's stadium? [Seattle Baseball stadium demolished in 1979] Bunny lives about 5 blocks from there. We go near there to catch the buses. Also saw yesterday the floating bridge. Walked Bunny's dog -- which by the way is enormous. About half the size of a horse but built like an elephant!! We walked her dog to Lake Washington. That's only about ten blocks from her house. There is a beach & large park. It's really nice. Also went down to Pike's Market down by the water. Also were in alot of thrift shops where Bunny looked for a back-pack. She did buy one -- but this morning it was too full to carry on her back.
Well -- Today Catherine graduates from "K". What a feeling of a sense of accomplishment that must be!!!
Remember -- you all to keep cool, calm, & collected during all the activities in Florida. Be sure & tell all of the Hortons "Hi" for me. Also of course, Grandma.
Last night on the news saw Tricia Nixon's wedding.
I'll close for now. Will write you all a card in Victoria -- if we don't miss any more buses, etc.
Love
Bert

Dad --
I hate to say this but by the 17th -- when we get in Vancouver I'm going to need some $$. That $35.00 freight bill really hurt me bad. Right now I've got $35.00 which should do me fine till Vancouver. But when in Canada I'll need to buy some stamps & also want to buy some film.
Plus I was going to buy myself a pair of walking boots in Canada. I've got a pair now but any amount of walking in them about kills me. They just aren't good walking boots. I counted on spending no more than $15 for my boots.
Twenty dollars -- $5 for stamps & film & $15 for boots would be greatly appreciated!!!
By the way -- I'm hoping to work at the shop a couple of weeks in September -- if they need me. Just thought I'd throw that in!!!
