Here are Larry and Barbara; they leave today, alas.

Last night they took a hideously large crowd of us -Annie and
Pete, Ferren, Ulla Bendic and Aileen, Andrée, Kat, Joan -to Le
Cantou, who did us proud. Really good meal, prearranged by
Barbara with the chef, featuring amoung other delights cinnamon
ice cream with the tarte au pommes.

All paled before the conversations though - what an extraordinary
and mixed bunch of people have settled here and what terrific
fun they are. Barbara and Larry fit in very well and should start
thinking about their retirement plans.

They are off to London for a few weeks before returning to the
USA. It seems that there is an election in England.
