Nice classes – visited an “Escuela hagar” kind of a day nursery near school.  Also a laboratory and distributing place for milk for places of charity, clinics, other day nurseries, etc.  In the afternoon Luz Maria Image resultand I went to see “Knight without Armor” or “El Amor Naces del Odio” with Robert Donat and Marlene Dietrich. Very good.  We started to go yesterday but it rained and hailed so hard that we decided against it.
