Card of the Day
Day 43 – Saturday July 20 – Homeward Bound – Paris to Le Havre – At Sea
The sisters got up early at 6:30. They tried to get breakfast but the (American Express) man arrived before the breakfast came. Much confusion and hurry but they got on to the train all right. In a compartment with 3 others. Had an expensive lunch. Got to Le Havre about 1:30, beautiful. Easy to get on to the tender, also on to the “Berengaria”. A very large boat {her word}.
Sailed about 3. They walked around a lot. They had a lot of time to waste before dinner at quarter of eight.
Beautiful full moon with just enough clouds to be lovely.

My Mother’s Trip to Europe – Day 5 -1934
Still at sea
It’s windy and wet. The sea is rough. But she has breakfast as usual. And she went to the gym again. She had a big dinner and danced with the steward, “the best dancer.”
