Jack and Peg Zellers went to Paris with the Dartmouth Club of Boston group - Jack says there were 85 - a fine congenial group. Everything was low key so you could do as you pleased, the accommodations were splendid, and the price was right.
Mary and I spent January 6 through 20 in Mexico, the first week in Mexico City, Taxco, and Guadalajara and the second in Yucatan, where friends in Merida drove us all over, including a two-day trip to see the fascinating ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Tulum. It is difficult to reach and consequently few tourists disturb the iguanas
Mary fell getting off a bus at the pyramid north of Mexico City and bruised her shoulder, the day after we got back to Troy it started to pain and a quick trip to the hospital showed she had broken her collar bone. To top it off, we both caught the flu as soon as we got home. But the vacation was wonderful!
