1972 Roberta in Greece

Roberta moves on from Italy to Greece, possibly getting her first taste of "cruising" by crossing the Ionian Sea from Italy to Greece.  She sends the following two postcards to GHU.  Transcription follows.

Dear Grandma,
Hi! Got in this boat about 11:00 last night - now on our way to Greece.  I really slept good - sorta felt like someone was rocking me the whole night.

The boat is really huge - has five floors – even has a swimming pool on it!  I plan on going swimming this afternoon.

Hope all is fine!  Hi to the family.  Love, Bert

Hi!  We were here this morning - I hope I can remember half of what I'm learning on this trip!!

Greek food is really something - I'm never sure just exactly what I'm eating!!

I can't believe I'm walking on the same ground that Socrates & Plato walked on!!!

Love, Bert
