Today was another of those nice sunny days that make the bay and the hills of Spain seem as though they were painted. All morning I was on the go, figuring expenses and getting dope on a trip to Greece and Turkey via Malta. I finally decided no, but went around to see the Captain anyway. He wasn’t in but had told the agent he wouldn’t take me deck. I’ll have to get that Friday boat whether the Captain wants me or not. I have lots of good ideas as to where I am going in the next few months and what I will do in Egypt and Palestine. Rumor hath it there will be a little walking connected with my visit. I’ll have to build up a big reserve for I’ll need it along about the middle of March.
Had tea at Mrs. Yarde’s and then let myself into a job of hanging curtains after which I took Kathy for a walk. Later, after a hurried trip to the hotel to get cleaned up, I had supper with Mr. and Mrs. Yarde. Mail n.g. encore.
