Harriet visited me yesterday suggesting something to do this morning.  I can not yet get her to on the phone.   I know I had the right number but I tried twice.  We were planning to go to the Museum and perhaps the Palace – Maybe next week!

We went to the National Palace. The guide made me pay 3 pesos! I was furious!  I know Carsey might have been able to get out of it someway but he really hounded  us until I was forced to pay.  From there to the Museum where we saw Harriet- She seemed to dislike most everything she had seen – We went to Chalputepec Park and listened to the music but could not see  the band for the crowd – Am rather disappointed in Harriet’s attitude toward Mexico.

After nearly 12 hours of sleep since yesterday morning I am “fit as a fiddle” – Visited San Carlos Academy and the Museum but the latter was not open except the Monte Alban for 50 centavos. Mailed a letter home. Hope Carsey calls me about tonight – He planned to get Dignomitty for Betty and go somewhere to dance !Ojala! Carsey and I went to the Regis. Unable to find Dignomitty! Saw the Austrian who sat with us on the balcony for a  few minutes.  They started late and the floor never was crowded.  They played the new Agustin Lara number.  “La Marimba” which was suave!  Alas Farolito, Las Gaujotas and many other pretty ones.  Their music is always good. Got home at 2:45!!

An infant named Tenzin Gyatso, future leader of Tibet and bestselling author, is born to a peasant family in Takster, Tibet. At age two, he will be declared the Dalai Lama.
