Diary Entry of September 14, 1876
Most of the day went into travel preparations before we left at one o'clock, with the children crying over the dogs they had to leave behind. We reached Munich by evening, where a rude waiter, rain, and a small disaster with my burning neckerchief made the arrival even more chaotic.
Thursday, September 14:
10-14 Preparations for the journey; departure at 1 o’clock; children weeping over the dogs! In Munich at 8 o’clock. Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten, rude waiter, rain; my neckerchief catches fire, hair begins to burn, the barber, Schnappauf, who is with us, extinguishes it.
