Tam byla povetrnost jako u nas v breznu, voda z jezer onu krajinu ochlazovala. V Kanade projely jsme nekolika men g imi mesty a samortejme i venkovem, az jsme se phku jmenovanernu jezeru, kde se nalezalo velke mnoastvi divokych kachen a husi. Tomuto ptactvu sama priroda dava pud dornova, kde ma hledat irtulek; nyni na zimu odjeti na jlh, kde nalezne potra-. vu, ale nejeden z techto p paku ztrati aivot nea dojde k navratu. Dojeli jsme do Windsor, kde byla pekna, koupaci plate u jezera Bell, prave se tam koupali, ale nami ot • asala zima, ale oni si to snad libovali. Prejely jsme velkY most nad rekou a Fleetway tunelem dostaly se do Detroit.

Celnici nam neprohliael karu, jen vyzvidali mnoho-li jsme nakoupily v Kanade.

V Detroit, jak ua kaadY vi, vyrabi se nejvice automobilti. Tea my jsme se pokusily o novou karu, ale ani tam nejsou k dostani a take tam neni tolik, kar z druhe ruky videt jak u nas v San Antonio. Zde maji na lotech vg echny nove kary. V Kanade bylo lacineji neali jinde, pa cele ceste, jen gasolin byl draag i, ale aivobyti bylo mnohem lacinej gi. Cesty byly pane a nikdo se nemusi obavat cestovat pies Ontario. Mesto Detroit, tak jako jina tovarni mesta,, je zakourene. Z tohoto mesta jell jsme do South Bend, Indiana, kde se nalezaji take historicka mista, ale tam jsme se nezdraovaly, jely jsme dale do Michigan City, pekneho mesta, u jezera Michiganskeho, kde jsme pPeiaocovali.

Maji tam velice pekne vYletni misto na koupani, ale nas tam :ptivitali komaki, ktefi byli vetg i nea u nas v Texasu, a tak nyni uz vime, ze i jinde jsou komo.H. Toto mesto je pine kvetin, hlavne tulipanft a gladiolas.-Jelr jsme podel Michiganskeho jezera do Chicaga, velkeho mesta, a vjeli hned na Cermak road. My ua byli nasyceni tech velkYch /nest, tedy jsme jell ray on k pfateltim dr. a pi. Clavalovym.

Po Cas co pani Chvalove, pfipravovala obed, doktor nas bavil, ultazal nam jeho knihovnu vedeckYch knih rtiznYch spisovatela, a ta jeho slova nasycuji du gi eloveka. Dr. Chvel jest jednim z tech pr y -nichstudeakrYpcoval,byseuCovalo Ceske feei na statni universite v Austinu. U dr. Chvala jsme si pobyli, ale ae mame vice pfatel v Chicagu, jeli jsme pak navgtivit rodiny Franka a Antonina Chalupovi. Pani Frank Chalupova vytadala si prazdniny, aby mne mohla provetet po cele dva dny pobytu u nich, prove,&la k tern nejvzacnej gim mistam, jako do Lincoln parku, Fieldovo museum, teleznidni vYstave a planetariu. V Lincoln parku maji dosud lote na kterem Lincoln zemfel, a kotvu z lode Kolumba, z ktere objevil Ameriku. V planetariu bylo nee°, co jsem si vtdy pfala shlednout: tam mate cestovat tisice mil na sever, aby uvidel to yzacne pulnoeni slunce a poletni tat; anebo na jih pod rovnik, aby uvidel souhvezdi Jitniho ktite, ani by se musil se sidle pohnout. Pti tomto putovani stale astronom pomoci maleho vynalezu demonstruje a vysvetluje tato krasna fenomena. V tomto planetariu je mnoho starovekYch astronomickYch nastroja matematickych. Za ty dve hodiny posezeni jsme toho mnoho uvideli a uslygeli, ae nam vge nezastane v pa,meti. Pani Chalupove srdeene dekuji. Frank Chalupa vlastni clfevosklad a pekny velky zdenY dam.

Od Denison bylo sucho, trody trpely suchem, ale vzdor tomu bylo v ge uchazejici.

Tam jsme se zastavili u sestry a 8efeaka, tea bratra J. 8vadleriaka, kde jsme vypraveli, co jsme zatili. 8efeakovi take radi cestuji, jako my, tak je nage vypravovani zajimalo. A tak jak katclY jinY stet ma dobre i zle, tak myslim i Texas; letnim Casem je na severu dobre, netrpi tolik horkem, ale e vypravovani severnich obyvatel maji tam tulle a dlouhe zimy. — Tak ua jsme zase doma.
