of eur- ope and heres hoping i donjl want to miss bavaria in germany i had formed this con viction long ago from pictures and articles in various magazines but i have it more firmly entren ched than ever now since chat ting with mrs e rf robinson 22 james street- who with her hus band has recently returned from a three month trip abroad the prime reason for mr and mrs robinsons european trip was to visit with their soninlaw and daughter mr and mrs gunther fiey who have been living in munich for the past two years brenda mrs frey was a member of the royal bank staff before her marriage to gunther an engintv- cer whose family resides in mun ich the frcys met mr and mrs robinson in northern germany where the boat docked and drove them to munich a 700mile trip they took their time enjoying the scenery and points of inter- est most impressive of all per- were the many ancient cas tles sitting high on the wooded hills looking just like illustrat ions from a fairy tale the majority of women in bavaria wear the bavar ian national costume which consists of a full skirt of brightly huid cotton over which is tied a full white apron trimmed with embroidery topped with a white blouse under a snugly laced black overbodice the men wear tyr olean suits of red piped with green and leather hats with feathers in the band as you can imagin this adds to the quaintly beautiful atmosphere of this country and the countryside itself is beautiful with many mountains v v y i 5 y y y y y 6 ft toboggans hunting boots thermo pac archery sets 925 1295 279 395 595 695 up dart boards

flowers they grow them everywhere even sometimes am ong the plants in the fields driv- ig thru bavaria many lovely vis- open up from the mountain rmds from one vantage point you can see no less than 15 church spiresjjpne for each of the little villages the valley most of the houses have red roofs and the homes and surroun dings are models of neatness and cleanliness the reason there are- so very many of these picturesque little villages dates back hundreds of years the farmers do not live on farms as we know them but have their homes in the villages and go out to work their land from there in olden days the people had to keep close together to pro tect themselves against marauders and the custom has continued and apparently works out very well mr and mrs robinson found it fascinating to visit the scene of hitlers bavarian mountain retreat at berohestgarten there is just part of 1 house left standing but from it you could see his tea house on the peak of the next mountain even the forests in bavaria are beautiful the people love and care for their trees zealously it is very seldom anyone is allowed to cut one down driving thru the for est you can see right thru the trees if you know what i mean because all the brush has been cleared awayj and it is as neatly kept asapark in the city of munich especially this fondness for trees is noticeable there being a great many right in the downtown area of the city also in the heart of the city in front of the big buildings there are frequently large lawns with fowers and in spite of the fact that next year munich celebrates its 800th anniversary streets are very broad this i thought rather surprising the streets in most ancient cities are usually narrow however the trees beautifully kept lawns and flowers together ith the wide streets all contri bute to the effect of spaciousness andcharm which is munichs speciaappeal just as in england they say everythyig stops for tea in munich fevarrthing stops for cof fee at four oclock every afternoon the restaurants are crowded with people enjoying the coffee break as you enter these restaurants invariably there is a large display of delectable past ries you make your choice of these and the attendant sees that it is served to you when you sit down for your coffee mrs rob inson describes these pastries as wonderful works of art they too arc a specialty in munich there is a great deal of building in progress in munich both of large buil dings andprivates homes houses over there ave nearly all thrve storeys with high peaked roofs and casement windows theytiave no removcablc storm windows but the windows are all double and being of the casement typt can be opened easily for cleaning inside and out mr robinson was especially interested in their different ideas of house construc tion being a carpenter by trade a couple of ideas which appealed to mrs robinson included the tiling of kitchen and bathroom floors instead of having a base board in these rooms the tile was extended up the walls a siort distance it makes for easier clea ning and upkeep another idea was having a special window sill designed for keeping potted plants on i think i mentioned earlier how fond the bavarian people are of flowers the glass in this spe cial window is opaque and the window sill is especially deep usually made of marble in fact in nearly all the houses the win dow sills arc marble and fre quently outside patios are ilso built of marble this is not too expensive there because the mar ble is easily accessible from the nearby mountains the bav arian people love their little cel- elbations which they have on every possible occasion for in stance when a house is being built after the walls are built and the rafters are up for the room they put a little decorated tree on the peak of the roof and invite their friends in for a party to cel ebrate after their vacation in bavaria brenda and gunther drove mr and mrs robinson thru the alps to genoa italy the scenery of course was magnificent with a good part of the journey along roads cut right out of and in many cases thru the mountains ln spite of the fact that they are narrow and twis ty with no guard rails there are very few accidents this may bo due in part to the fact that the european cars are much smaller than ours the robinsons arrived in genoa at night and the lights of this city set in the mountains by the sea were an unforgettable sight the next day mr and mrs robinson visited naples and lat er also took an expedition to see the ruins at pompeii i can imagine mrs robinson is right when she says a person would have to spend a lot of time in pompeii to fully appreciate them fn their short tour she re membered especially the dining room of an ancient house with the parquet floor as beautifully preserved as the day it was built the paintings on the walls look ed quite bright the many stat ues however were replicas of the originals which have been re moved to safekeeping in the nat ional museums they saw the stepping stones so necessary in the extremely narrow streets of the long long ago when there was no such thing as proper drainage on their re turn to the city the robinsons noticed men excavating in the li- va all along the roadside it is a backbreaking job because the lava looked hard and black like coal setting sail for home in an italian liner they passed close by monaco mrs robinson tried very hard to pick oifct grace kellys palace but couldnt distinguish it from the the elaborate buildings nearby when they passed the azores is lands they saw a live volcano in eruption every three minutes or so it was just a new one that had started erupting in october sailing thru the mediterranean it was quite a thrill to be able to sec the coast of north arfica from the boat and stopping brie fly at gibraltar when men came aboard selling every imaginable type of article that might appeal to tourists these men make a real art out of bargaining and so across the at lantic to dock at new york where mr and mrs robin son stayed for a few days before the trip back to georgetown and one of the best parts of even the most delightful vacations re turning
