journey we were in a railway compartment with three other people, two
Portuguese and a Dutch girl, and none of us could speak the language

From Vienna we went to M u n i c h , Cologne, Amsterdam and then flew
from Amsterdam to London via Rotterdam.

We arrived i n London just in time to see the K i n g and Queen go i n
state to open Parliament, one of K i n g George's last public appearances
before his recent illness. They rode in a Golden Coach drawn by six
white horses, and there wefe armed guards and soldiers and a band. I t was
a thrilling spectacle. We had six days of London, eleven tossing about on
the Atlantic, first fearing we would sink and then fearing we wouldn't,
and we arrived i n New Y o r k nearly two months after we left Karachi—
now so far away. A f t e r that i t was only a night to Indianapolis where
"Dad" and " M o t h " met us at the train and rushed us off to Lafayette to
see Purdue beat Indiana—the first American football game we had seen
in ten years.
