Monday, January 10

Thank God for a day of rest - a day spent only in sleeping and a little work on my plane and two briefings. Bought me a pair of boots today - a combination between a military dress shoe, riding boots, and cowboy boots - they are the most comfortable things I have ever seen. Met Louie Ralsh who washed out at primary and is now navigating in B-26 Replacement group.

Have been eating fresh pineapples, oranges, bananas, mango s - all grown around here - they are really wonderful. To bed early for tomorrow we head east across the pond. Rest of squadron is now here - finally caught up with us.
