and exonerated and it was respectfully requested that we 

 be passed Without delay by other retens. As a matter of 

 fact, we were not challenged again and I was at Oasa C-6mez 

 at 8.30, not as tired as from the Guasca trip. 



Meanwhile Clara read El Tiempo in the park, and wrote 

 some postcards. After lunch Dona Manuela took her to the 

 postoffice on the other side of Calle 18 to buy stamps 

 for ordinary mail. Then they went to La Tercera; the 

 church was dark, with cedar wood heavily carved all along 

 the side walls j there was a lovely carved pulpit, there 

 were paintings of the four evangelists and a Virgin in 

 doll-like bisque. From there they went on to San Fran- 

 cisco to see the wood panelings overlaid with gold, and 

 the chapel at the right where all Bogotanos are reminded 

 of the Virrey Soils.

Feb. 26. Right after breakfast I went to the bank to get 

 the money for our Medellin trip, then to the photo shop 

 for a batch of prints and then to the Institute. Worked 

 on the list of generic identifications until noon. Clara 

 went to the market with Mrs Bugher. The market building 

 fills a city block, much like Center Market in Washington 

 as it was when we went there to live. Huckster's carts 

 edge the curb where one can buy stockings, ties, etc from 

 New Tork or all sorts of secondhand articles such as old 

 tools , locks or bits of pipe or chain. On one side of the 

 building was a big shed full of sacks of potatoes; in the 

 court were barrows of fruits and vegetables; dirty children 

 sat in the gutters picking up dropped pea pods, etc. On 

 the second floor was a huge crowded attic partitioned into 

 halls and alcoves with baskets, jugs , garments, dishes, etc.
