August 14, 1939 Monday

Got up at 8:00 - got dressed and finally got out and we went to Childs for breakfast. Then back to the hotel and got ready to go to the Fair. We took the Subway and got their nice and easy for 5 cents. We went into the Brazilian building first and from there took on practically all the countries. We lunched on a hamburg, a hotdog and coke. Went to the Norwegian building of course and bought some cards there to send to the folks. We had supper of meatballs-tomatosauce, peas and mashed potatoes ish! No good. We went up into the Perisphere which was really awe inspiring and then we saw the Lagoon of Nations all colored and lit up breathlessly beautiful! The Fair was all lit up and the post cards don't do it justice - It's grand! It got rather late and we were so tired so we got on a Subway to go home and got off at the wrong stop and had to take a another one and got out at Grand Central and walked 21 blocks to Hotel, took shower and now in bed. The girls are asleep and I'm going to I hope. Gee I'm tired and my legs ache so--
