I helped in the kitchen in the morning and wrote 14 cards. After lunch I went with Geza K., Pika, Latzi, & Geo. to take pictures. In the evening I sat outside with Geza, Katona, Geza K., Pika, and Nudj Baila. Went to bed quite early.

Didn't do much the whole morning. In the afternoon I worked hard. I helped to carry in & pile up the wood in the shed. In the evening I had supper at old Mr. Roslosnik's house. Then we all went to Fejérs for a glass of beer. Talked with Irene over the telephone. Went to bed after 11 o'clock.

Got up late. Had dinner at Lohofsky's. Went to Rosnau in the auto. Had a lot of fun talking German to the bystanders. Had lunch at a restaurant. Came home about 6 o'clock. In the evening I went to hear the gypsy music with Geza, Andor Gall, Pika, and Geza K. Later we went over to Aladar's house to develop pictures. Latzi & I came home 11 o'clock.

Went to see how they make soda & lemonade. Also went to see the bee hives & watched the bees working. It is very, very interesting.

Got up early to go to the Ice Helle. Something went wrong with the motor & we had to walk part of the way. We took pictures by the Ice Helle and ate dinner at the hotel. In the evening Geo. & Latzi left me home alone and went out riding with some girls. I then went walking with Geza & his friend from Hungary. Went to bed late.
