Naples Aquarium and Shopping (no Vesuvius)

I planned to go up Mt. Vesuvius today but Dr. S who is here and knows Naples thoroughly told me he did not think I would see the crater at all as there has been so much smoke. [Previous major eruption in 1906]. He did not believe the guard would let anyone approach near the edge. So I gave up the trip.



Miss Ferris and I went out. I went to the aquarium and spent almost two hours there. Very interesting.


Lay down after lunch. About 4, Miss Ferris and I started for the Cinematograph, but after we got there Miss Ferris did not like the advertised subject so we did not go in, went to Cook’s American Express Co. and to lots of stores. Bought a little blue pin for 4 francs as a souvenir.

Walked home alone through the Park. Miss Ferris rode.

Spent the evening in the drawing room with Major and Mrs. Rogers who go back to Malta tomorrow. Miss Claire Ferris was there too.

Letter from Miss Wilt - she has lost her fountain pen. She is well and at a nice pension.
