chairs, candlesticks and a painting by Vasquez. Down- 

 stairs, we went into one patio after another, some with 

 vines or lor; hanging bushes, the last one overgrown with 

 a thicket of trees and large shrubs; seven patios in all* 

 •.•ost of the parts of the house had two stories with ra- 

 ther high ceilings, one part had three lower stories. 



ar. 2. Vent early to the photo shop for the last film 

 pack and then back to Casa Gomez to pack for the trip* 

 Curuba was served in mid-morning for a send-off. Ye 

 took a taxi to Avianca 7,*here we met the rest of the par- 

 ty. Beside i urillo and Otoya was Adriano Cabal, a young 

 student of Gallego 's at the Pacultad de Agronomla. We 

 took a bus to Techo and our plane left at 12.30, due in 

 Medellin at 1.35u Trouble with the landing gear kept us 

 in the air over Me&ellln until 2.20. The air was bumpy 

 and for the last hour the Diane was very hot: neither of 

 us felt too well. We were met at the airport by Professor 

 F . Luis Gallego and Dr. Carlos Garc6s who took us in their 

 car to the hotel Luropa. V=e were settled in a huge room 

 that could be divided into bedroom and sitting room by a 

 curtain. Clara, lay down on the bed to recover from Diane 

 sickness and I joined the others for a visit to the Faeul* 

 tad. I was shown over the building and introduced to many 

 of the faculty and some of the students. From there we 

 went to the Colegio de la Salle to meet Brother Daniel 

 and to see his collection. They have a fair amount of ma- 

 terial but nothing of special value and none with proper 

 labels . 



Iieanwhile Clara had a cup of tea in the bedroom, felt 

 better, dressed and took a taxi to the home of Senora 

 Teresa Santamaria de Gonzalez, Calle 5'7, % Q \&«$$ (it was 

 quite near the hotel) and left her card and the letter 

 from Dr. de "ulueta. 



Mar* 3 • V.e had breakfast with don Luis and then walked 

 to Avianca to take up our reservations to Cali; we stopped 

 on the way at the Edificio Nacional where don Luis sent 

 a telegram to his wife. He returned to the hotel where 

 we left Clara to wait to hear from Senora de Gonzalez while 

 the rest of us went to the Pacultad to commence work on 

 the collection. I sat at the big table in Gallego 's of- 

 fice with a microscope and an interpreter, Sefior Bustamente, 

 who had been in the States and spoke English fluently. 

 Gallego would pick out the specimens that he wanted named 

 and I would give the number of the specimen and as much of 

 a determination as possible to Bustamente, who would write 

 it down. 



Came back to the hotel for lunch. We walked with don 

 Luis to the Plaza Bolivar and the Catedral, which is brick
