Aug. 19. Monday. Munich. Hotel Linfelder. [Ima went out by herself in this unfamiliar city, to pick up the
opera tickets she had ordered from London.]
Out looking--got lost--having left my dear old Baedecker [travel guidebook] somewhere--reached
hotel 3:30 P.M. tired hot & hungry....
Aug. 21st Wednesday Munich.
Four o’clock Tristan & Isolde! Started from hotel in a carriage
at 3:30 in plenty of time...
[She described the opera in great
critical detail in her diary.Was she alone???]
Had dinner between 2nd and 3rd Acts....
Came home decided on leaving out Vienna & staying for [Wagner's Ring] Cycle
--if my ticket could be redeemed.
A sudden change of plans: why?
