This morning we found it warmer and no wind so we walkedto Pontresina, a perfectly beautiful walk by lakes andthrough pine forests, with glimpses of glaciers, and at Pon-tresina, a quaint Italian town wnth little shops and grated windows, had our lunch at the Kroner Hotel, full of English 230 SWITZERLAND people and much more homelike and attractive than are two great glaciers in view from Pontresina, theRoseg, and the Morteratsch, and we propose to make an ex-cursion there very soon.

The wind is blowing againfuriously. We are trying to make up our minds what to do.
