The Big Day

The Big Day
My aunt had dreamed of attending medical school in Sweden, after she finished nursing school in the early 1930's. She worked as a nurse, saving her money to sail from the USA to Sweden. She and her friend are leaning over the ship railing looking at the water, or possibly some sea life. Their smiles are big, so they were enjoying the view.

Gorgeous blending and page! Love the story and inclusion of your aunt's handwriting!
 
Great photo and story. I'm always amazed to think of people sailing to Europe, much more of an undertaking than today's travel.
 
It must have been glorious to be on that boat! Beautiful sepia and blending.
 
WHOA! This is fabulous! An intriguing story, a delicious photograph, a sophisticated layout. Looking forward to the sequel to the story!
 
Such a great photo and love your beautiful blending and wonderful ART to capture the memories of the story.
