Easter near Leipzig

I kid you not. My grandmother kept a daily journal of her vacations from 1933-1937, typed them up neatly, and bound them in albums (I wondered where I got it from...) along with photos and postcards from the journey. This first trip is a family vacation near Leipzig to visit some relatives.

While touring New Zealand in 1987, I wrote each day's journal entry on the back of a postcard. See the postcards I sent myself, featuring:

Cycling in Austria

In the summer of 1988, I went on a three week bike trip to Austria and Switzerland. As usual, I sent myself a postcard each day. Part one is the Austrian part of the cyclothon.
