1964
5:15 we finished and headed for the frat house. I debated going to Annapolis and decided not to. After eating supper at a steakhouse cafeteria. Again it was a meal. We returned to the house got cleaned up, then went out to see a movie "From Russia with Love" a movie involving the "fabulous" James Bond. It was really funny (not intentionally) because of the stupid rediculous situations he got into continuously. At 10 we went back to the house and read some of my literature then hit the sack.
May 27
Awoke at 7, showered and shaved. We went down to the same greasy spoon diner for breakfast as yesterday, except I had eggs today. There were three flags up everywhere: one U.S., one green, white, and orange, and one with two red stripes in between three white stripes and three red strips on top. As it turned out the former was the Irish flag and the latter was that of the District of Columbia. They had some of the
Irish flags turned around backwards and therefore were actually the flags of the Ivory Coast. We diddled around until ten o'clock when we moved some of the furniture, cases, shelves, etc. back since the floors had been tiled. We ate lunch in the same cafeteria we did the first day. After moving more stuff, Pete, Paul, and I went down to the Health Unit to get shots. The doctor was such a fool that I just rediculed him something awful, much to the other's glee. My colera serum hadn't been on ice for several days and was therefore no good, so I got one shot with new stuff. The others had three shots each. We then went shopping to complete our purchases. I carried some of them back while the other two went to another store. After modifying some forms for the project, Fred (Sibley) leader, of our trip, Roger Clapp, Pete and I went to Fred's House for dinner. We first played badminton, then ate, discussed school and teaching, then saw slides of the past Pacific trip. I helped Mrs. Sibley with the dishes, then Fred drove us home.
