The trip through Switzerland has been happy, and the mountaineering has put Theodore Roosevelt in “splendid condition.” Alice Lee Roosevelt was less enthusiastic about traveling by mule. They visited Geneva and Basel. Strasbourg Cathedral has been a highlight, especially the cathedral’s astronomical clock. Traveling has been comfortable, and nothing has been lost.
