Packed and did a washing. Got cigarette case for Fay’s brother, a magazine in the National Theatre, two pieces of music and a map of Mexico. Looked for a dictionary but didn’t find one for less than 9.50 pesos that I’d have. Found out that Fay and Carsey were right in that Peatones means pedistrians – Mr. and Mrs. Ruiz took me to the train but did not buy tickets to Tacuba. Ho! However Mrs. Davis and Ethelyn were at the train and put me on – Got sleepy soon after we started and got a rubber pillow – Took off my glasses and broke them again – They were rose-colored (comparatively). Maybe that means something –

Saturday August 18, 1934
Walked with Fay through Chalpultepec Park in the morning. We couldn’t find anything: animals, aquarium or botanical gardens! Not even the childrens playground!
Got my hair fixed this afternoon –
Carsey came and helped us get the bags etc to the station – Re-validated her ticket. Had to buy tickets to Tacuba, second class in order to go out to the train. That’s the only time I can remember seeing Carsey show the least bit of temper – Can’t blame him, tho. Davis’ were there, having just seen Alice McDuffey off. Was raining but after getting her out the train we started for the Regis.
It took a bus, street car and libre* to get us there! I was somewhat damp in the shoes. Sat in the balcony until the Don Quixote dinning room opened at 10:30.
Saw Minnie Mae McAlister and her Fiance, Mr. Halsbeck (?) (56 years old, she’s 23!) Earl Dawson and Dignomitty** at the dance. Good Music – stayed until it was over – On the way home we wished that the libre would get a flat tire – Instead it ran out of gas but quite close to a filling station. (Grrr!) and we got home soon. Had left the key at home and I had to wake Mr. Ruiz to get in. I was certainly embarrassed!
