Thursday August 22nd, 1872
/Thursday Aug 22 staid at Hotel, had dinner at one, it rained all Wednesday night and untill 9 this morning, at 2 went to Vevay, walked about the town looking in the shop windows, making some few purchases, the ladies rather slow in passing the Milliners shops, which were very beautifully adorned with mantles, bonnets &c.
A walk on the Quay, then back to Hotel, the Lizards here on the roads are innumerable, they run along the walls and hedges so fast and on road they are quite amusing to watch them, very few birds flying about, we have not seen a rabbit, hare, fox, or Chamois, got back to the Hotel at ¼ past 7, had tea, then rested until bed time, the rain began again and lasted all night, and till ½ past 10 next morning.
