1 July 20th : It took three days to recover from our climb, but now we are able to walk with enjoyment again. Nevertheless, we are leading a lazy life & our longest walk will take only half a day. The English trip promises to be a strenuous one with every hour accounted for albeit some of these are dedicated to afternoon tea. In fact this seems to be a ceremony religiously observed. We are much pleased with the hotel here, and are getting three very square meals & a light airy room with two beds for $3.00 a day for the two of us! This is better than Estes Park prices for cruder accomodations. The first day we came at two o’clock, we were ravenous & asked if we might have dinner. We were given a delicious soup (the Schwartz family would be delight with the soups: twice a day) & there came on a dish of tongue & tender string beans. We filled up voraciously, grateful for such abundance after the regular hour. Imagine our consternation at having still two courses & no place to put them! — meat — beef, I believe, potatoes & lettuce, with dessert! Breakfast is always European, i.E. a drink (coffee, chocolate or tea) with rolls & plenty of butter & marmalade or honey. Dinner is four courses; soup, two meats, two vegetables besides potatoes, & dessert. Supper is soup, two meat courses with side dishes, & fruit — practically the same as dinner.
