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.

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

Went to Betsta’s class and cut the rest.  Strolled through Chapultepec Park and saw Botanical Gardens.

Ate a mango – Came home to find a letter from Jaimie with $20!!*   Went to change it
– Saw Nell Blackstock and that group who were about to go through Natl Theatre – Carsey and I went thru again – Heard the organ!  I paid him my debt of a cup of coffee and we came home –
Before going to the Theatre we went to El Monte de Piedad to find ourselves pens but they won’t be sold until Tomorrow!
Fay lost her rain cape yesterday but found it today – She was luckier than I with my umbrella – Got letters from Mahota & Martha Corran.
