Had some breakfast.I moved my belongings from the drawers in the room I occupy with Jossie to the drawersin Estelle’s room. Then I cleaned out both rooms and went through Jossie’s drawers andthe closet. While going through my things I found my razor and tweezers, though not mymanicure scissors. I couldn’t get a vacuum cleaner to clean the floors.Left at 10:30 for the airline terminal. It was raining. Took the bus to the SF airport.Read the newspaper while waiting for Dor. Dor’s flight from Chicago was scheduled tocome in at 12:05. The time was changed to 12:24, then 12:31.Dor recognized me before I did her. She wore a long good-looking raccoon hat.We went to get her luggage. She did not get one bag, a denim one in the shape of a largedrum, containing a red cape, shoes, underwear. She put in a report at the TWAoperations and they arranges for interchanging calls on the loss.We took the airport bus into the terminal. We ate a little lunch at the Mark Twain Cafénear the terminal. I had a hamburger which was very goodWe took the Muni to the Excec Motel, transferring twice. The motel gave her a weeklyrate of $60 for a double room with a stove and refrigerator, though she did not intend toprepare any food there.I took Muni to the Haight Community Store and bought a few things and some fruit formy breakfasts and lunches next week. Was interested in a young woman on the Haightbus who was carrying a coat in a basket over to Oakland.Dor and I dressed and took the bus down Market to Powell. We decided to eat atBernstein’s Fish Grotto. Price for meals were quite high and we chose the cheapest itemson the menu. She had red snapper and I had cannelloni (squid) with macaroni. We hadsome white wine. On receiving the bill we found that together we were a little short ofhaving enough money to pay. Dor had brought little cash and two payroll checks. Wesucceeded in getting the management to cash the smaller check.I stayed with Dor tonight at the motel. The room had not been meticulously cleaned.We went to bed at 12:30.
