Bought some cards, bought earrings for Lorine and “Window” shopped with Arnold and Emma Lou for many things – climbed to the church on the hill, went up the towers of the Cathedral, and by the time we got back to the Hotel Victoria, which is also on a hill, I didn’t have any knees!  Image result for taxco mexico church on hill 1937We left for Mexico just after lunch and didn’t stop until we got to Mexico about 4:30. They took me home and went to the Danky. Carsey called about 7:30 to say he was in the police station!! Tony had been arrested and he and Emma Lou were there as witnesses. He told me a story (police and Tony) they had fixed up to save Tony so that I could tell it if called!  Was I scared!  I went to the hotel to stay with Martha and Betty and at about 9:45 or 10 they came home! I was so relieved I almost cried –  Carsey evidently had saved the situation and I was glad he could help. Hope that is the last of it.

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

Buchenwald concentration camp opened.

The German-Polish accord on Upper Silesia signed May 15, 1922 expired. Germany was no longer obligated to provide equality to all citizens in this region and so the Nuremberg Laws immediately went into effect there
