[[preprinted]] 44 [[/preprinted]] Puerto Rico 2.
by declaring it as baggage, we got it in our $200 allowance. The truck came for it, and we got it out just before noon.
I then went with the truck to take our baggage to the Apts., and then Ruth and I rode home with Mrs. Bailey. We had lunch here at the Tavern, and liked it.
In the afternoon we went to town again, chiefly because there was nothing else to do. We went to the Post Office and left a note to stop forwarding mail to St. Croix. We then went to the Department of Automobiles to get my license extended. Had to go ^ [[insert]] and [[/insert]] buy two $1 stamps, and stood in line about half an hour. Finally got the license, and then came home.
Had dinner at the tavern, and decided to make arrangements for a week's board there.
[[left margin]] XII-8-36 [[/left margin]] To town in the morning to cash check at bank and get Travelers Cheques. At the Post Office we got letters from EB, the MacCoy's, and two of stamps from the British islands. We also got a package of 2nd class, with 2 Sciences. & a Renista. Also a card & several separates from [[Lin ?]] Gressitt.
I tried to find the Horn Line, but walked clear out to Bailey's without finding it. In the afternoon we tried to plan what we're going to do.

[[left margin]] XII-9-36 [[/left margin]] Spent the morning at the garage. Had the motor reassembled by noon, but left it there for a few more adjustments. In the afternoon, got it running better than for a long time, - by putting on a new carburetor. The bill for these parts & repairs was $54.54.
Ruth spent the morning getting a permanent.
After I got home I started drawing the plate for our Christmas cards. It is a map of the W.I. in black, showing our route.
[[left margin]] XII-10-36 [[/left margin]] Went to town to see about getting the cards made. One photo place wanted $2 for negative and $5 per 100 for postcards. A photolithography place offered to make a zinc etching for $2.62, and a printer would print on cards (furnished with envelopes) for 4. a 100. We decided on the latter. I can use the map in my report, by routing out the greeting.
Found a laundry where they will dye my riding breeches. They're  not worn out, but are getting rather messy looking.
I finally did find the Horn Line. They do not carry passengers from San Juan, but can take us from C. Trujillo on January 6th. As there is a Porto Rico Line boat to there on the 4th, that seems the best way to go. The combined fare is $51 to Kingston each. Seems very high.
