Sun, Nov 25, 1979

As "Sesame Street" starts its eleventh season, Maria is setting out on a big trip to her native country of Puerto Rico for her twenty-first birthday, and taking Olivia with her.

During the day, they keep recruiting the people they meet to pose as them and make Maria think she's seeing things. They don't ultimately make their presence known until the end of the day, when the party begins. The show is brought to you to today by the letter A and the number 2. While all the excitement in Puerto Rico is going on, Kermit the Frog is doing a news report on the elves and the shoemaker, and Edith Ann of "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" tells Herry Monster about what makes her proud.
