1957 Postcard from my mother to her parents in Mobile
She wrote, "Hi! Surprised to hear we're in Gay Paree? Jerry had two days here, waiting for transportation, so I came up to meet him. Wish we could stay a month! Paris is so wonderful! You must come to Europe! You'd love it. Will write about everything when I return to Nice. Lots of love to all, Jane" Micah and I browsed at those newsstands several times. And purchased several small oil reproductions, Babar prints and compact mirrors for Danielle and Nisha. Your basic tourist fare. I remember Mom stopping and buying a book there when we were with Mary in 2000. It's nice to have this old postcard to remember it all by.
