RIVER ALONGSIDE HOTEL BAUER AU LAC, ZURICH *The Prince Leopold of Sigmaringen who gave us a dinner in 1897. He died in Berlin, having gone to the Crown Princes wedding. 589 EIGHT JOURNEYS ABROAD train from Berlin I have ever seen. Compartments perfectlyventilated and every detail perfectly carried out. I fear oursto-night will not be so good. I made a mistake to buy my tickets beyond Munich as Ihad to buy others. I expect Cook to redeem them. We sawthe great ruin of Hohentviel near Singen (see Ekkehard) andhad a wonderful view of the Rhine Falls at Schaffhausen, anabsolutely perfect day and very warm. We have driven aroundthis place and have seen the Landes-Museum thoroughly,with its real mediaeval rooms taken from different castles andhouses. We have sat out on the lake front and are now readyto take leave. I am going to post this from here and mustlet it go now. Hoping to get a full mail at Paris tomorrowmorning, with much love to all. Affectionately, M. D. R.

The ride to Paris was a very rough and shaky one, althothe stateroom was very comfortable. We got in at 7.40 andquickly got a porter and rushed out and secured a little omni-bus; then I went back and got the trunks through the customhouse and in a very short time were on our way to the Hotel.The proprietor received us very politely and had a small bed-room and large salon ready for us, costing us 35 francs a dayfor all, food included. I went immediately to Harjes and got two letters
