principal reason for my going was to get some ice cream. I'm not specially excited about the variety we get at the club.

Another do little or nothing day. After lunch Dick and I stretched out on the bed and he began to read me a chapter in "Principles of Insect Morphology" by Snodgrass, on Wings. I had previously tried to so some reading for myself but didnt get very far. This time I didnt do very well either as I fell asleep. I couldnt blame this on the medicine I had been taking because I hadn't taken any today.

To-day was "Dia de la Raza" or Columbus Day -as you will. In most stores and so forth it was a half day holiday. This being Saturday I had to do my shopping for Sunday in the morning. This sounds as if I had really taken up housekeeping. Dick went on another long trip, and about 5:30 I was expecting him home, so I worried a little as it was getting dark - silly me.

Another Sunday. Mr Owrey came up to see us for a few minutes in the morning. I was busy cleaning shoes, getting ready to leave. He took us down in the back yard to show us a big almond tree, and as luck would have it Dick saw a small group of toadstools in which he found 3 Staphs. Mr Owrey found some larvae - which he thinks is Diptera - in a rotting almond, so he took a bag and gathered quite a bit of the fruit on the ground. He believes it may be a host to fruit fly. It rained most of the afternoon so we stayed pretty close to the house.

I wasnt feeling very well so I did little or nothing.

Day before we are to leave. I began straightening things out to pack. It never seems as if we unpack much, but at the end of a few weeks there is always a lot to put in a trunk. Dick did a lot of going back and forth to town. He's always good at doing all the errands.

We are to sail to-night at 10:30. Most of the day was spent packing.
