in preparation 



for our trip. At £ we went to the Hotel Carrera for onces 

 and then walked out to Santa Lucia where vie sat and talked 

 until time to go back to the hotel for dinner. After which 

 I packed and went to bed. 



Feb. 17. Raul appeared at nine and we went to the Embassy 

 to leave BlT's letter to Guest and to say goodbye to him ' 

 , ■ and Thayer. From there to the drug store for an extra sup- 

 ply of razor blades and some tablets of Entero-viof ormo as 

 a precaution against intestinal infections. Then to the 

 D. S. V. to say goodbye to Belmar, Tartakowsky and Duran

 we changed into a first class coach for the rest of the 

 trip. This change was necessary because the sleeping car 

 is dropped from the Puerto Montt train at Loncoche and is 

 sent to Concepci6n. 



Our train "left on time and until dark there was no change 

 in the scenery, cultivated fields, small towns and small 

 [ , groups of houses, many windbreaks of casuarina trees. We 

 ^ saw many hundreds of acres planted to sunflower, Chile's 

 attempt to secure an adequate supply of vegetable oil. 

 On Chilean trains, those who wish to eat in the dining car 

 are given tickets which admit them to a certain seat at a
