we paid our bill of F30 - 40 & established
ourselves at a quiet little "Pension Suter" -
with a nice garden for the children
extending to the "Hotel Suiss" - beautiful
view of the lake & in every respect a desirable
situation - all along the road further
without the town there are boarding
houses commanding superb views; with
beautiful grounds &c - but here we are
central & it is almost like having our own
house - for there are but two other ladies
here; hideous Germans who speak French
with me, but whom I really dislike to look
at, they are so offensively ugly. I went with
the C's last evening to see the Cathedral, &
burying ground & we came home at
sundown by the side of the lake - a
charming walk. I strolled about the town
earlier in the afternoon with nurse & child
-ren, went into one or two churches &
examined the old bridge with pictures -
wrote to Mr B. at Berlin & to Mrs Morgan,
at Albany. The children are getting on
very well - thankful truly do I feel.
