Went to Santa Catilina Island today. Left Wellington Pier at 10, arrived at the island at 12:20. ($4.92) Took the glass bottom boat ride, the seal rocks trip, the skyline drive and the bird park drive. ($2.26) Around 800 passengers.
Post card to Geneva
We are now about half way on our return trip ( 29 miles) from island. Have had a grand day. Wish you could have taken it with us. Well hope you can take it sometime. Really was wonderful. Mom Daddy sent a box of sea water taffy from island.

To San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. This Mexican town was so different than Jurez (across from El Paso) Tijuana pronounced Tee a wana, Jurez pronounced Who arz. After being in that first town and seeing how dirty and filthy it was I forgot about the sugar and really forgot it today too. Ran into fog on way home.

Washed clothes. Lillian and I had our hair washed and set.
Went to Cliftons for Lillian’s birthday party. ($5.38) They furnished the cake had “Happy Birthday Lillian” on it. Then to N.B.C. where we watched the Phillip Morris broadcast program.
Then started home and something went wrong with shift so we came the 15 miles home in low gear. More fog too.
