Fish but lost him, he would weigh 25 lbs.

August 26, 1896 ~ Wednesday

Aug 26^th I spent most all day at the Hotel. We had a
paper race in the afternoon.

August 27, 1896 ~ Thursday

Aug 27^th We took cars in the morning and rode to
San Francisco 125 miles. went to the Baths. then took
cars for Los Angeles ^and San Diego^ (482 miles). rode all night. I
did not sleep, as I did too much yesterday.

August 28, 1896 ~ Friday

Aug 28^th We got up in the morning, travelled through
the most romantic country I ever saw, a great
deal of the way was through tunnels, the east one
is half a mile to the bottom of the valley. The sun shone
bright, this is the highest elevation we reached.
It is the roughest piece of railroad I ever traveled
for over 90 miles. We took breakfast at Harveys
and passed through Los Angeles at 1³⁰ and
through Santa Anna at 3¹⁵. We saw the old Mission
on San Fran, and came to the Sea San Diego at 10
min to 5 o'clock, and registered at the Coronado
Hotel which is on an island in the bay of San Diego.

August 29, 1896 ~ Saturday

Aug 29^th we went out on the pier, got a fish
pole and line, caught a small stinger fish.
The location of this Hotel is excellent, and as a winter
resort has few equals in the land. The summers are
mild the weather cool and bracing, but the heat now
was greater than had been felt, it was said by old
residents, for 25 years. Spent most of the day reading
the morning papers.
