Documentation Mania - 1966 trip

In 1966, the Keens, realizing that there might not be another opportunity for a trip as a family, went to England again.  This time the trip also included Switzerland and France, which we had not visited in 1958.
There is a scrapbook that covers that trip.  Really covers it, but with hardly any commentary or narration. It seems to believe that the stuff tells the story.  Somewhat true.
Of course, there are also lots of pictures - mostly slides - somewhere, too.

I'm just going to put the pages back in the box.  They contain communication with travel agents and Reg Moore about arrangements and some fairly conventional souvenir stuff like programs and postcards.
And more..
Plane tickets over

many Paris Metro tickets
every bit of paper from Hotel InterContinental in Geneva

Movie tickets - American movie with French subtitles

Customs and mailing labels for wool from Scotland

And, perhaps most amazing - 
yes.  ends of film boxes
That's enough.  You get the idea.
If you ever wonder what we had for lunch in Cherbourg the day before we sailed for home you now know where to look.
