Where did you go?. We rented a car and drove to Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri (visited a college friend in St. Louis), Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, W. Virginia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts (visited my cousin and Boston), New Hampshire (stayed with Robert's parents and his brother and sisters were there for Father's Day weekend), Maine, New York (stayed with a friend in Brooklyn). Then I took the plane back and Robert drove the car with my college roommate back! I could not handle any more driving! I like Boston, New York was exciting (it felt like I did not see enough yet I saw too much. > I haven�t even found out any way to send the money (because I haven�t tried > too hard), sorry about that.

He fell inlove with a doctor and he will move in with her. He has been the virtually invisible roommate lately anyway. > A friend from my laboratory is having a free room on August, so I think > I�ll move with her. Is this for August only or for 5 months? We just wrote you a letter using the last envelope you left us saying we will save the room for you if you want it. But if your friend's room is free that is better for you. We are thinking of giving up on finding a roommate and using the room if you don't need it.
