(This is an entry from the journal entitled Mexico Summer written by Elizabeth Lancaster Carsey 80-years-ago. )

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.

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