I’m going to draw a picture of our apartment in the hotel so you’ll have an idea.
[drawing]
It’s on the twenty seventh floor, so Central Park looks very pretty from here, and we have a little better air than other apartments do.
Inside the kitchen, the electric stove is wonderful. I don’t cook anything except breakfast. As you know, I’m a horrible cook. I make coffee and fried eggs, and we eat some fruit or gelatin or ham. This small breakfast costs about a dollar twenty five cents a day, which is about three Mexican pesos. One could eat a full day’s worth of meals for that in Mexico.
