Tuesday, October 23, 1917:

Slept all morning. Promenaded this P.M. did some shopping and took tea at Vogardes. This evening we were invited out to Broggiotti’s château. Mr. Broggiotti was born in Italy, but went to America when he was 3 years old, ran away from home and went to western U.S. where he became a rough rider on the western ranches. Later he took up singing and since has traveled all over the world. He married an Italian girl and now is the proud father of eight fine children--4 boys and four girls--and the owner of several beautiful châteaux. He and his wife both speak beautiful English. Two of the small boys speak French and Italian. The rest of the family speak English, French, Italian and German. We had a very nice time at their home. We danced to good American music and played American games. "An enjoyable time was had by all."

Loafed around most all day. Took coffee this evening with Mr. Blake and Foster Guest, a young American aviator with the French Govt. We went to the beach and met more Americans. A Mrs. Brant was particularly nice to us and asked us to please look her up when we were in Nice again. She has two attractive daughters. We retired early. Tomorrow we leave.

Packed up and left Nice at 2:52 P.M. on a 1st Class officers’ train. Our hotel bill amounted to about 100 francs a piece including tips and extras. Not bad at all. We got excellent service.
