July 18 A very wet morning but fine after 3 o'clock. Went out to see Hugh and took tea there. After tea we walked over Menai Bridge. This is a splendid example of the suspension bridge. I must take a day to examine it thoroughly. Across the bridge is a lovely place by what they call the Island Church. It is a little chapel on an island in Menai Strait built, as the copper plate on the door says, by St. Tysilio in 680AD. This has been one of the clearest days and Mt. Snowdon could be seen so plainly it seemed a bit of a walk over to it. They say it will be fine weather now for several days.

July 19 Today we went from Bangor to Beaumaris by boat. I like the water I think best of all. I certainly enjoy it when it is fine down by the beach or on the pier. The sea air gives one such an appetite. Beaumaris is a pretty town and is a quiet little summer resort. There is an old castle in Beaumaris that is interesting; and running out of the town to the north is a nice drive along the beach for a couple of miles, perhaps more.

July 20 First to Upper Bangor then through Menai woods to Menai Bridge. We went down and took a picture of Church Island then went to the baths and watched the bathers. After dinner we went down to the pier and watched the crowds come and go. It is pretty nice on the pier just to sit and look about. We came home at 4 and had tea and immediately went and had tea with Bob and ate wheat cakes and currant jam. Gee they are good. Bob's friend Emyr Humphries asked us down to the church where he plays the organ and said he would play for us if we cared to come.It was a real treat because he is very fine and plays anything you like. He asked us in to supper to meet his father and mother. His brother has an excellent voice and sang for us. Thora by Stephen is fine. I shall never forget them and hope to meet them again.

July 21 We all went to Llandudno today to a funeral. Six of us rode over from Beaumaris in a cab. We had no way to come back but walk.

July 22 Today we stayed at Bangor. It has been a bad day, cold rainy and windy. I didn't get out of the house until evening when Bob and I went down to meet Humphries who was coming up to Annie's to play the piano. He certainly is an artist. I really have never seen his like.

July 23 This morning I ventured downtown alone and poked around in the shops. I didn't discover anything remarkable. After dinner 1 took the girls over to Garth on the sailboat. The wind has been a gale today and it was very rough on the Strait. How the boat did toss and through the spray. We came back at nine and it was quieter. After that we went to make a call. Fancy making a call at 9p.m. We called on some people visiting here from Vermont. Moreover we had some real Yankee lemon pie. I ate two pieces.
