Ruth’s Diary

July 28, Thursday, Munich to Uffing(?) We breakfast together, the eleven of us, & then went to the Am. Express while Frank went to some German finance office to declare our Am. money. We met many Ams. there, 1 girl who was traveling alone who had arrived in Munich & couldn’t find a room so people at Ger. boys had taken her into their home. I also met 2 others from Calif., one of them had planned to stay until Jan. but was leaving because she had been told by the Am. consul that something was going to happen in August. It was not until after 11 that we got started for Uffing so we stopped to buy food in Stainberg. There was something very important going on as certain streets were closed to traffic & huge high powered cars kept whizzing thro’ with important looking people in them & then a small group of uniformed men marched up & went into the town hall. We ate lunch just outside of Stainberg & then rode on to Uffing. Helen, Dot & I stopped again on the way at a for milk. We got huge ice cold glasses for 20 pf. We arrived at Uffing about 4 – some had ambition enough to bike 2 more miles for a swim, but not I. We had to get our own meal – wurst, bread, tomatoes, canned plums & cake – a grand meal. We wrote for a while after supper & then to bed.
