Started to Taxeo about 9:30 with Tony Garza as guide – A boy on a bicycle bumped into the car near the Regis Hotel and was knocked off. Instead of stopping and seeing if and how bad the boy was hurt, Tony speeded up and left town quite worried.  Ate at the Hotel de la Selva an it is quite elegant.  We took some pictures at Chapultepec Falls near Cuernanvaca Image result for cuernavaca waterfall 1937– Left about 2:30 or 3 for Taxeo. That is the most colorful and pictuesque spot in my world. I love it. Carsey (Arnold to me) and I went walking in the rain after supper.  We like the same things and I love to do them with him!  Went to bed rather late.
