Our lodgings over night wore In a typioal meson - a stable yard with 
rooms opening off it. Fortunately we wore about the only guests so were 
comparatively comfortable with our own bedding. At noon we reached 
4 
Huatusco and put up in another fonda and meson where we were far from 
comfortable owing to the yard being filled with donkeys, pack mules, 
and arrieros, We found this place with the same altitude as Orizaba. 
It is situated farther from the great mountain and out on the general 
slope with fewer surrounding hills and this serves to give it a aomeshat 
warmer climate. Coffee does well in nearly all this district and about

and I hired a new outfit to take ua on to Mirador tomorrow,
