Oct. 21st Sun.
Dear Mother:
No way to explain this trip on a post card!! We are staying in a large house over the owners store – w/3 maids & 5 daughters – 3, 15 & three in their 20's. The weather super. Sat thru a Catholic Mass, all in Spanish. All kind of 'trspt.' problems this wk! (Open truck). We leave Wed. for Cuernavaca. We've seen beautiful hills & flowers, pyramids, churches, etc. Taking us thru Cigar Factory tomorrow. Quite a language barrier. Hope you are well! Bill has a cold + 7 others – me & 3 others okay!! Love, Mary & Bill

Dear Mother: I have been on enough dusty, cobble stoned roads to do me for a lifetime!! Today we're going to a Health "Spa" – Mineral Hot Springs - - mud bath, etc. (we're going to see the flowers, etc. Some say it is very pretty) Big time, Sat. Nite, our hostess took us to a Line [or Lion or Live?] dance. 2 Bands -- mostly Mexican music. I danced some w/ a young man in our group. Turned out Bill was a guest of honor! He escorted one of the seven "[???]." We were introduced to Pres. & wives from different districts, Mex. This is a trip to remember! Love, Mary & Bill
