GARDEN OF THE HOTEL BYRON, RAVENNA went to call on Miss Reeder Macaulay in the afternoon, after going to the Cathedral in the morning. No one was at home, but I got a very nice note from Miss Macaulay saying they were sorry to miss me and if they could have known I was coming, could as well as not have been at home. Monday we spent sightseeing. Tuesday afternoon we took the 3.30 train by Faurze here. We had to change twice 630 ITALY and after dark and a very nice young Naval Officer (Italian)was very polite, said he was coming here, etc., and made him-self very useful. Arriving at 9.30 we went to bed as soon as we were settled,and this morning started out sightseeing, and did not see him

THE TOMB OF DANTE, RAVENNA again, but found a nice note saying he had been obliged toreturn to Florence. He had just returned from Pekin wherehe had been attached to the Italian Legation in China; saidhe knew many Americans there and seemed to have readmany of our books. I am very much impressed with Ravenna; not with its 631 EIGHT JOURNEYS ABROAD outward appearance, but with the wonderful early Christianrelics, sarcophagi and mosaics, the churches of San Vitaleand San Apollonia date from 300 and 500 A. D. The tombof Galla Placidia was near the former. There were threewonderful enormous archaic sarcophagi, and the walls andvaulting and dome of exquisite mosaic, and in the church agreat altar of translucent alabaster. This hotel was the Palazzo Rasponi and Byron lived herein 1819. At present the heater is out of commission and thegreat barnlike rooms are cold as charity. Our room opens on asecond-floor terrace, and as it is raining to-night, we must goout on this terrace to get to bed.
