Puerto Rico #6

with our baggage because we had far too much to take with us. This leaves the Kungsholm - which is the way we are going. I am looking forward to seeing this part of the Caribbean so we shall combine pleasure with business. 
It is quite expensive, but not much more so than either of the other ways, and we are going to spend Christmas money on it plus the extra mount we will be getting on the motor. 
Christmas day was rather uneventful. Dick had already given me a lovely kimono, when we were in St Croix, and on Xmas day he gave me a bottle of Coty's "Paris" perfume. I gave him a semi-new razor and some odds & ends such as type writer ribbon etc. I feel as if I was not so very good to him. However, he will have some books he wants as he is going to get them with ^ [[insertion]] his share of [[/insertion]] the money Dad sent to Poly.
We were going up El Yunque, but now with all this rain it will hardly be worthwhile. I really don't mind missing it as I'd just as soon save the money.

Today was just as rainy and disagreeable as many of the previous ones. Our maid, Estebanilla, says it will be this way until new moon. She also says that this kind of weather is not unusual around the first of the year. My grocery boy tells me the same thing. Dick laughs at the new moon idea, yet I notice that he put a prediction made by an astrologer (on Rudy Valee's hour) in his Journal!
We would enjoy going to a movie, but all that is showing out here is a dumb Laurel & Hardy "Our Relations" - a 4 day special!
We went to the tavern for dinner & had turkey - there are [[underlined]] some [[/underlined]] compensations in this life.

This morning for 3/4 of an hour, or maybe a little longer, we were allowed to see the sun. It looked as if it might clear up, but I felt pessimistic when I looked to the north east & west. Dick
