IH begin my letter with our arrival here at the Berchtes , gaden Hof on Friday evening be cause uus is au so very iresn in my mind tonight and I must tell you about It now before I forget we drove up from Munich Fri day evening. There was a full moon so it gave an almost eyrie view of the fields and forests as we passed by. It Is a drive of about 90 miles or 150 km. We had several rather long detours from the autobahn where huge bridges and spans had been dynamited dy-namited by the S3 in order to stop the advance of the allied armies. Thus it was about 10:00 by the time we arrived in Berch tesgaden. Our hotel Is the last word in elegance. I believe it is the most elegant hotel I have ever seen It far outshadows the park hotels in Yellowstone. The steps, pillars, ana lire places are all of rose marble. The carpets throughout are an rose and grey and the furnishings are of the finest woods. We have a room that has a little balcony where a table Is set for breakfast, and entrance hall, a private bath and a view of the Watzman Berge out our windows that takes your breath.

We are. in a valley here with mountains surrounding us, the likes of which I have never seen before. I told Bob it is all so beautiful that it makes me want to cry. Saturday morning we walked down into the quaint little old dorf; A goodly number of "the people wear the Bayerischer costumes which you know so well, father. I don't know whether you and mother were here or not In Berchtesgaden but it is an adventure ad-venture into another land. We walked Into the little old church, around the . market, place v and along little .narrow streets. The Bavarians seem to resent the occupation oc-cupation troops more than in Berlin, and they stare at you with a resentment as you pass by. In the afternoon we had a driver driv-er (German) pick us up in a jeep and we drove along past alpine homes ' and beautifully kept farms to Konigssee, the long mountain lake fed from the glaciers and snows of the lofty mountains. There we had a specially chartered private boat (which usually carries 25 persons) per-sons) take us out on the lake for an hour and a half. .We went 7 km out and 7 back, the entire length of the lake. At one place the picturesque little old boat captain stopped the boat, took a trumpet out from under the seat and played a tune with the pauses being filled by the echoes back in the mountains. (I thought of Uncle Bern. dad. and how he used to holler from Bear-Roll-Off In the American Fork Canyon.) We passed a quaint little church built around the earliest days in this ancient land. Its spires are oriental in character patterned after the Greek Orthodox Ortho-dox Churches. This lake is so long and narrow that I imagine it is very similar to the Fjords of Norway. The Jeep was waiting for us when we docked and from there we drove back to Berchtesgaden and the salt mines which have been running since the 17th Century. We were escorted to private dressing rooms where we donned the old tradl.tjpnaj costumes worn by the miners. We even had a leather flap strapped across our fannies to protect us when we went down the slides inside the mine. I We assembled outside with i twelve other sightseers who were 'as interested in the trip as we , were. There we straddled across i little electric cars which went along dark tunnels until we reached our first stop. The various var-ious intricacies of salt mining were all explained. In German of course, so I just gleaned a small portion of the Information Bob kept telling me small bits so I at least learned a little. The wooden slides were great fun. We all clutched the shoulders should-ers of the person In front of us and went in one long train of twelve persons. You landed with a thud and a grunt which almost took your breath. T, can't remember re-member the exact length of the slides but the lasL.one was so long it made your seat hot so you know it must have been quite a stretch. here.

Then we drove on up an everwindlng road through huge tunnels driven through the solid rock until we finally came to snow and ice. We parked the jeep and walked a short distance to the entrance of a long tunnel which lead to the elevator which was to wisk us up to the Eagle's Nest. The elevator carried us up the last thousand feet. The lodge must have been magniflcant before it was stripped, strip-ped, but at least no bomb damage dam-age or burning had taken place SS headquarters and a hospital, all of which are total ruins.
