Bar Harbor, Maine - 09/08/81 - Lobster tonight! A warm hello from our inn room at this beautiful resort. Just arrived from Boston where we spent two nights at the Sheraton. Our rooms at the Waldorf were super - a lovely suite which makes other accomodations pale in average. I auditioned on [the piano pictured], they said "Don't call us, we'll call you!!" Had a good week in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This [?] tour is wonderful. He recomended it. Our present room overlooks harbor. Here 2 nights then to Quebec City. We hope you gals are well. More later. Love Bern and [Unreadable].
