Today is may first full day on my voyage to America. Macarena is not feeling well. I hope the fresh sea air will cure my recurrent cough. I have managed to save 5,625 pesetas of the money my parents had given me. I will not spend any and maybe my wealth will help me to get into America.
Second class is better than steerage.
I am very glad I have enough money to travel with some luxuries. The food is not Spanish, yet it is edible and not stale. The conditions in steerage, I feel, are very unsanitary. Thank goodness the second class sanitation is better. There is not as much dirt and stench and fewer bugs in second class than in steerage.
