Pacific Hotel, San Jose, CA

The Pacific Hotel was originally located at 74-80 South Market Street near Saint Joseph's Church in downtown San Jose. Constructed of fire-proof brick in 1860 as Crandall's Hotel, it underwent several changes of ownership and names (including the Continental Hotel in 1864) until Prussian immigrant and waiter Charles Schiele purchased the property in 1880 and renamed it the Pacific Hotel. The hotel continued operating until the building was purchased by Pacific Telegraph and Telephone Company in 1907.

Gasterntal

The Gastern Valley , also known as the Gasterental or (according to the Swiss national map) the Gasteretal , is a valley near Kandersteg in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland . The Kander River flows through it. The upper valley basin is about 1,600 m high, and the valley outlet is about 1,350 m high. The valley is only inhabited during the summer months.

In the Kandersteg dialect, "gasteren " means "to stay overnight." Selden, the rear part of the valley, was once inhabited year-round; two inns offered accommodation and meals to travelers over the Lötschen Pass .
