Our first Sunday spent in Europe in
a Protestant country was refreshing ---
so different from anything we had
seen in France or Italy - Scarcely a
store was open & both streets & people
looked as if they recognized a Sabbath.
Next morning we walked about &
visited a beautiful church - at 2 1/2
took the cars for Berne, where at 10
o'clock we were shown almost to the
attic of a very clean hotel - We took
an hour's drive before leaving the next
afternoon & Mr B-called on [illegible] our
Minister - We went to see some bears.
To me it was not an interesting visit,
but the children were delighted. It was a
beautiful two hours ride in the cars to this
place, where we have a parlor & large cham
-bers on the ground floor - at the Bellevue
Hotel - the grounds are superb & very
extensive - commanding fine views from
every point - the snow clad Alps in the
distance are an unfailing source - of
wonder & admiration to me, as well
