Reports On Flight
To Europe

My trip abroad was mainly
to visit my son, Capt. Alton Tho
gersen and family. l travelled by
air plane all the way which was
very thrilling. Left New York
at 1870 a. m. and landed in
Paris at 6:45 a. m. next morning.
Stopped in New Foundland long
enough to refuel. 1t was a gray
rainy morning in Paris and my
son and daughter-in-laW were
there to meet me. We left there
by car for Etain, France, where
he is stationed. The camp con-
sists of $50 trailers which they
all live in very comfortably.
l stayed in Paris three weeks,
taking sight seeing trips with
them and visiting. Told Alton
all the new things that happen
ed in Sidney since he left.
The 5th of August we all left
by car for Denmark which was
a very interesting and Won
derful trip through Luxemborg,
Belgium and Germany to visit
our relatives. My son and daugh-
ter-in-law were very impressed
with Denmark and its friendly
people. While there we visited
my late husbands brothers and
sisters and their families. We
had two weeks of lovely sun
shine and covered a great part
of Denmark by boat and car
Germany is a very beautiful
and clean country while France
is more backward and yet it too
is beautiful in the summer.
Travelling in a strange country
where you can't speak their
language is quite an experience
but was well worth our efforts.
