Coast to Coast on the same Coast.

A family went on vacation from Haifa to Netanya on July 2nd, 1958. That's less than a hour's drive in today's terms, and you end up on the Mediterranean coast again.

Make sure that Mikhali remembers all the "vocabulary" that she knew.

Best regards to Shmulik's mother.

Many greetings to the Khavinski family!

Up until now we have received two postcards from you, Ilya, and been happy with all the news. It turns out that Mikhali is also vacationing with you, getting tanned and fat...
We are going crazy with homesickness, and you'd be surprised to hear that we don't regret the passing of time, so that in 3 days we'll be back. We're dying to see Mikhali, and in addition we're tired of doing nothing. All day long we sit or lie down. We became so atrophic, that we're not capable of making one step on foot. Even this postcard is written in bed during the afternoon rest. We'll be back Wednesday before noon.

From Adina and Shmuel Shalev. Astory Hotel, Netanya.

Note that "getting fat" was considered a great outcome of Mikhali's vacationing :)
