1 Saturday; July 8th: Sunday-the second, we spent with Prof. Drude and Haidee , his daughter, on an all day trip to Maissen a little town near Dresden . We had to get up in time to reach the wharf at 7:35. We took a cab & reached there in time to see hundreds of school-children all in their best and carrying wreaths on standards, march down to the steamer for a jaunt. Prof. D. & Haidee arrived after we had bought our tickets & gone aboard. Our steamer went down the Elbe, and it took a couple of hours to reach our stopping point. The scenery on the way was rather softly beautiful. The interesting thing to me was the number of floating bathing houses on the banks, where men & boys, either entirely nude, or with a simple breech-cloth, were diving & swimming. The weather was atrocious until late afternoon, drizzling & then shinning & then raining.
