Dear Pen,
We went along the line marked with X'. Saw masses and masses of cotton and grapes growing, also Mt Shasta. We've had a good trip on the ship so far we have a big cabin with proper beds, not bunks. Lots of fog all the way from Vancouver, fog horn makes a horrible noise. Nice and sunny here though.
Lots of love, N & S
Dear Merry,
I am writing this in bed in my cabin. Sue and I saw Fisherman's Wharf this morning and we went for a bus trip this afternoon into a forest of simply huge redwood trees. We leave here tomorrow I think your next card will be from Honolulu.
Lots of love, N & S
