Don & Elizabeth Kiel
Don and Elizabeth retired to the San Diego
area in 1992 and are now living at a
wonderful retirement community, La Costa Glen in Carlsbad, California.
Genealogy
We are interested in genealogy since we are both of Dutch ancestry. Our grandparents or great-grandparents came to the United States from the Netherlands in the mid 1850's. We now have our ancestry in both families back from 6 to 12 generations.

Art
We enjoy art, and have become especially fond of the artists of the Hague School. 
Don has taken some art classes in drawing, charcoals, watercolors and pastels. See some of the results here.

Travel
We like to travel and visit our daughters on the East Coast. After traveling on our own in Europe a number of times, we have taken four Rick Steves tours and five Grand Circle cruises.
