After a comfortable night, I awoke about 7 in the morning. A lovely bright sky. An equally beautiful situation. The mountain's snow glimmering in the sun, whose animating rays were spreading over the works of nature, with brilliant grandeur. My host has quite put me in the mind of dining outside, as they do in Germany, in bowers near the houses erected for the purpose; where a person can go for table d'hote, and dine for 2/-. These places are public and private throughout Germany, I rather fancy, after the French fashion;
