June 27, 1971



Dear Mom and Dad,
In the last envelope of pictures I left off at Monte-Carlo.  These next 12 pictures are all from Monte-Carlo.


Just as  the race was about to begin, this ship came off shore and let all it's cargo of tourists out to add to the already jammed streets.



Here is a shot of a group of Monte-Carlo cops, about ready to clear the streets of people.


I took this one to show you how many people were crammed into every available spot.  This picture was taken fairly early in the morning.


 This is just another view of the city, taken from along the route of the race.


To tell you the truth, this is about the closest view of one of the race cars that I got during the whole day.  They were taking this one to the pits about two hours before the race began.


This is one of my favorite pictures that I took during my leave.  This is what I call determination!  this guy was going to get a good view of the race no matter what.  I have no idea how he got up there in the first place, but it took three men to get him down.


A shot of the Ferrari service truck.


A shot of the Lotus service truck.


This is a picture of the front of the Monte-Carlo Casino.


This is a statue that is on the dock at Monte-Carlo.  Notice the Helicopter behind it.


This is a picture of the palace where the prince and princess of Monaco live.


My final shot of Monte Carlo is just another view of the harbor with part of the city in the background.
