Abbey at Melk

Hi Akiyama-san

Here are some pictures from our trip.
I hope you can receive this many pictures.
They are probably not as good as the ones taken by Mr. Ohtsu, but I hope you can use some for the Red Book report.
I have sent some pictures and descriptions of the NHS tour on May 18 for your report.

With best regards,
Bill
