Excerpt from My First Trip Abroad: 1906
It was in July of 1906 that I took my first trip to Europe. I intended, before sailing, to go to the country with my family for a few days. Accordingly, we left Broad Street Station on the morning of the 5th of July, at nine o'clock, for Stroudsburg. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the ride very much. We arrived at Stroudsburg about noon. Mr. Dickerson met us at the station and drove us to the Inn. After having made us comfortable in our rooms, he announced to us that luncheon would be served at 1.30. There were very few people staying there, so it seemed rather dismal, but as we were hungry we managed to eat as only hungry people can after traveling half a day. There was little or nothing to do there so Mrs. B. and I decided to leave on the following afternoon.
When the appointed hour arrived for our departure, we said good-bye to our loved ones who were to remain there for the summer.
