4 a point commanding a magnificent view. This emphasized again the fact of the jaggedness of the peaks & the depths of the valleys. It oppresses & scares me. Sunday: July: 23rd. Here we sit under a tree [??] the beautiful forest opposite the hotel while a shower is passing. Please, therefore attribute the “tears” on this page to a fresh & not a salt water source. We have had several sunny days & it was growing uncomfortably warm in consequence. The shower will cool us off & settle the dust of the road. We are more & more in love with the place & leave tomorrow with regret. A delightful English woman of “uncertain age” turned up Thursday to find no rooms in either hotel vacant. She pluckily hunted up every possibility & finally took an old lumber room with a window on the level with the ground through which the goats walk to pay nightly visits. We have made trips with the English woman & converse a good deal with her much to our pleasure. But it is somewhat disconcerting to find that English is more difficult to understand than German! We begin to appreciate the distinction Continentals make between English & American languages!
