June 14, 1930

I got up late to-day after a good rest. Then after eating our breakfast we all took the street car and went up to Schönbrun where we went through Franz Joseph's castle. Everything in the rooms was fixed like at the time of Franz Joseph's day. This residence contains 44 rooms. Most everything was made of gold. Every room was different. One was Japanese, another all blue, another rose, etc. The dining room was all fixed for dinner. The table was set for eighteen persons. The dishes were decorated with gold and the spoons, forks, and knives were all of gold. In one bedroom was a cradle decorated with gold. There were many pictures also of Marie Theresia. After visiting the castle we walked through the beautiful gardens surrounding it. We stopped to rest and then went to the menagerie. From there we returned home where I spent the evening writing cards and playing the piano.
