After that we took bus to kockelsburg where we had more coffee and cake. Else, Elizabeth and I walked down the mountain and the rest rode. That day we had three thunder storms. Trier is very large city and beauti fully/situated between hills or noun tains. The trip there was also won- derful
 July a. m.-Went through Cas- pary brewery. Else worked in their office for z years. In the D. m. we went through the Cathedral and two other beautiful churches. MT. Eugert was with us. At we met Mrs. Eugert and then went to the Lowen brewery, a cafe where we ate our supper. Else showed us where her sister met Mir. Ellinger.

 July 1o-At a. m. I got a card from her saying she was coming that day. The card I sent was forward ed to her when she was working and she came miles to see us just for two hours. She came at 10 and left>at 12 and didn't get home till z D. In. She's very nice. The place where she worked failed and as she is over S5 she can't get job as bookkeeper. Now she has job for the summer. She has applied for a permit to come to U. s. A. Her number is over 5000.

Her man Schmarr and his wife had the same room as I did. Herman Her zog left Mrs. Goetz for Vienna the day before we got there.
 July 12-In the a. m. Mrs. Goetz took us around and showed us quite a little. At il a m. we were at the Rathaus Getty hall and heard the chimes. The p. m. we spent at an exposition which is being held there. Rain p. m. and evening.

After the trip Fe went through the Cathedral. In the p. m. to the National museum and at 1 to the Schuetzen Fest, (Rife Club picnic).
 July Is. Left Munich at 9 a. m, At Munich We saw a lot of students. They seem to have school all sum- mer. They wear caps (different colors). And they haven't gotten over that terrible habit of slashing faces. We saw quite a number with their faces and heads dandaged. The ride from Munich to Berchtes- gaden in the Bavarian Alps was wonderful This place is a wonder ful summer resort. In the P. M. we went to Konigsee and took a boat ride around the lake which we will never forget. The highest moun- tain is 2,700 meters and the lake is 24O meters deep. In places the mountains were covered with snow and so low down 1t was unbelieve- able as it was so hot In the boat. A native who was on the boat said it showed three weeks ago.
 July Is. One thing more I want ed to see there was a salt mine David went to the station after breakfast to find out when we could leave for Salsburg. He came back and looked real pale and said I've got bad news-there's a strike on the R. R. in Austria. Up to now they had not been in any hurry to get 10 Vienna but now there was nothing to do bN get to Vienna and
