June 15, 1930


We got up about six o'clock and then rode down to the station in G. Bröggs' auto. On the way he showed us the chief buildings of Vienna. Emma H. took us into the Stephan's church. It is a very old church, but nice inside. Here are buried several of the Kaiser's relatives. We boarded our train which left at 7:40 o'clock. Such trains I never saw before in all my life. There were wooden benches and not even any place to get water to drink. Everything was dusty and we looked like niggers when we left the train. I saw ancient castles on the way. We got very hungry while on the train and we had to wait about an hour before we could get something to eat. We then took a taxi at the train station and rode to Aunt Mary's home. They were very much surprised to see us. In the evening we all went to a show and saw Chairlie Chaplin. It was quite late when we got home and I was very glad to hit the hay.
