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

After dancing class Carsey came up with Wilhelm!  He has driven a carload of girls from Laredo and was going back when they did.  he is quite nice and quite German.  He doesn’t have much to spend but manages to go quite far on it.  We all had some Sidral Mundet together.  In the evening Bob and Carsey came by to go to the Symphony program at the Palacio de Bellas Artes.  It had been postponed and tickets to “Rival” Agustin Lara’s latest musical comedy, all sold so we contented ourselves with a show.   Later was walked and walked trying to find the Villa Obregon line.  I think Betty was quite worn out. But there was a nice moon and walking was quite pleasant, Plans were laid for the Regis tomorrow night and Xochimilco on Sunday afternoon-

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

The strato balloon bursts before take-off, it’s flooding in Colorado and the heat wave continues in the East.
