I washed my hair and it took until noon to dry even though it was a sunny morning! In the PM we went to San Angel. It was raining hard before we got off the street car so we made a dash for the convent and stayed until it stopped. Saw the mummies n everything and bought some pictures. A little boy took us to the Pedrazal and the Cuarto del Secreto but it was so wet around the latter that we didn’t try it out. Went to San Angel Inn and Jean treated me to some coffee. We had chocolate. She took some pictures of Convent patio and of D. Rivera’s house. At supper Ruiz’s were eating out and Arturo & Luz Maria came over and talked to us of ranch life.

Went to school at 10:30 and registered. Saw Frances. Met Elda Springer who has been here a week and sick most of the time! Poor child, We took her to show her rooms and she decided on 46 Naranjo just around the corner from school. Must mail the letter to the bank. The note for $150 was waiting for me when I arrived! Jean Crawford (Colo Springs) has decided to stay with me here so we moved upstairs tonight. Saw “Rayado Del Sol” at the Palacio de Bellas Artes by Roberto Sosto. The most gorgeous elaborate settings I ever saw as a background for native songs and dance from Jalio, Michoacan and the penninsula. The colors were so vivid that my eyes began aching before it was over! I am taking 4 courses = Mex Lit with Junez Ruida, Latin Literature under Pimentel, Educ Problems in Mexico under Palma and Commerce between Span-Am and US under Durand. Sounds interesting and I have nothing at eight 0 clock! We get cute little folders containing our picture on the registration card. Mrs. Ruiz is learning, or rather studying, Eng. He has been to class twice! but speaks it rather well at that. We have fun talking both languages at the table.

Got here this morning at 1 am!! The Ruizes had waited at the station since 11. They took Jean Howe with me because she had no place to stay and we could not look for a room then. They are so nice to me! I have a tiny room and a laboratory facing the back patio. I like it very much. Looked at one room for Jean which was in a nice home but cost 120 pesos a month! Bought tickets for a show at El Palacio de Bellas Artes tomorrow and went to La Cartagena (neighborhood theater) to see “Alla’ en el Rancho Grande” a Mex Production. Very good. A second feature was “Dr. Socretes” with Paul Muni – Only Fair. Saw Mrs. Ruiz’s father and sisters and brother. Mr. Ruiz’s mother is here for a few days until her house is finished. The baby, Bernardo is precious but none of the three children resemble each other – I am afraid that Ramoncito is still my Favorite! Jean is now doing exercises on the floor – so energetic. It has rained nearly all afternoon and night!
