We stayed home all day. Nobody felt very good.
It sounds like that Mexican food didn't sit well with any of us.
Since there's not much to talk about with regard to today's diary entry, let's jump in the Wayback Time Machine and see where it takes us. Today we'll go back to the letter postmarked August 23, 1967. In addition to the details about our trip to Marineland, this letter contains the first mention of the bank collection. The second bank that was purchased was a whale from Marineland, shown in the photo below holding the obligatory quarter in its mouth and looking very happy.
This bank is smooth glazed ceramic and is in good shape, although I think the clear coat has started to wear off the tail because the ends of both flukes feel rougher than the rest of the whale. It feels like the word "Marineland" was painted over the clear coat, but surprisingly it has not worn off.
