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!!

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:

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.
