Sunday, May 19, 1929


I got up at about seven this morning but by the time we had all bathed and dressed it was nine. Mom didn’t want any breakfast so Pop, June and I went out to breakfast. After breakfast Pop went to send a letter and June an I went back to our rooms. When we got there Mrs. Aubry and Joe were there talking with Mom. Joe is terribly tall and good looking. She stayed and talked until eleven thirty when we started on the days run. A little after two we stopped at Gracey for some lunch. It was a wonderful lunch . After lunch we continued along a broad flat road. The only interest of the afternoon was a race we had with a Hupmobile and a Hudson. We were ahead all the time until we neared town. We’re staying tonight at the Fresno Hotel. Fresno which is the most expensive hotel we’ve hit yet. Ten dollars a night for two rooms and a bath.


Jane's Notes: On this day in history General Feng Yu-Xiang of China declares war on Chiang Kai-Shek government. This must have had implications for the McGinnis family. Were they still in China at that time, Emilie?
