From the school Clara and dona Silvia went to the 

 studio and found Senor Chaves at work copying the 

 Kagdalena picture that we liked so much. Also there 

 were many pictures in sight that we didn't see the 

 first time. 



After lunch Clara went to Avianca for final check 

 on our tickets; she was told that everything was in 

 order. If we have excess baggage we may take it and 

 pay 90 cents per kilo from Bogotd to Barranquilla aiad 

 1 # 00 per kilo from Barranquilla to Laami. 



At U.30 we both went to the Bmbassy to get author- 

 izations to leave the country. Back at Casa Gomez we 

 had a call from don Luis that the weather probably will 

 not be good and so no trip to Zipaquira tomorrow. 



liar. 11. We went early to Camacho Rold&n and bought 

 books by Dickens and Lewis Carroll to give to the two 

 older Hurillo girls. As we were coming out of the store 

 we met Carlos Lehmann who said he had just received a 

 letter from Hetmore. Then back to 17-86 to wait to hear 

 from don Luis. He telephoned soon that it was too cold 

 to go to Zipaquira. We never will know why he didn't 

 want to go but it certainly wasn't the weather because 

 the day was sunny and warmer than usual. 3o we went to 

 the Institute instead and proofread the list of coccinel- 

 lid identifications. 



After lunch Natalie Henry interviewed us for an arti- 

 cle to appear in the El Tiempo. Don Luis called, bring- 

 ing prints of some of the pictures he had taken on our 

 trips and a gift for Lucy. Afterward we went back to 

 Calle 12 to buy a little more silver and a pencil to give 

 Alicia and to leave the Tunja picture by Chaves to be 

 framed. He then went home and tried to call the Zulue- 

 tas but found that they had no telephone. 



After dinner we called on the Brickells but they were 

 out. 



"Far. 12. Started at 7 for Guateque in Boyaca. He leave 

 Bogota as we would to go to Guasca but keep on the main 

 road as far as Ghocoiiti where we turn off to the right. 

 After passing Hacheti we stopped to collect by the road 

 side, taking a good series of Bruchidae from the flowers 

 of Cassia b iflora L. In the dooryard of a house nearby 

 we could see quantities of "fique", the fiber that is 

 derived from the local species of Agave and which is 

 used in making coffee sacks, mochilas, etc. He reached 

 Guateque about noon and had our lunch in the hotel . By
