Sunday Morning
Dear Mom + Dad,
Here it is Sunday again and this time it is a day off. Next Sunday I’ll be working in the hospital and won’t get time off. I’m going to make the most of it. I expect to go up for a swim very shortly. I haven’t been up to the pool for about a week as I’ve been to lazy to go up in the evenings.
I finally ended up in Juarez last night and had a pretty good time. I found a few nice bars down there in fact a few of the places are nicer than anything in El Paso. I was looking at some of the stuff in a curio shop and admiring it. There was a lot of nice things there and for a very reasonable price. If I had a little money I would have bought a hand made Mexican table cloth set with napkins. Real handmade and the gay colors blended to make a set that you’d love. I also was admiring some hand made lace that was beautiful and very fine and dainty. If I get a chance to get an extra sum of money I’ll buy you some. I think you’d fall in love with it.
Another thing that might interest you is the predominance of spanish architecture around here. Practically every house is a one story affair. Some of them are sad but others are well constructed and nice.
All the boys are laying around here complaining about the headaches resulting from the night before. There is a lot of drinking and you see of lot of fellows drunk. A lot of strange things happen to some of them. The boys from Texas all seem to love to fight. I’ve seen more fist fights in this section than I ever saw in my life before. It really is a shame that a fellow can’t go out and have a drink without getting into trouble of some sort. I hate to see stuff like that as I can’t see how a person can be like that. I like beer myself but I don’t get drunk. I think it is the most disgusting thing in life.
I have a few more letters to catch up on so I’ll quit now.
Love to all
Bob
