nowers and trees growing wild. Various
colors of Boup.invillea. wild sweet

W
ent to tiny town of San Bias to day50 miles fro m Teplc-to ta ke a boat ride
r
.
on the river thr ough the j ung le . Couldn't
ge t ove r t he primit ive was of li fe here.
Women ar e still washing clothes in the
ri ver s . and returning home with th e
e ntire bIlsket of clothe s on their heads.
The two hour boat ride was a pl easant
c ha nge . but those wooden seats sure
got hard i n a hurlY! Three t imes the
boat became s tuc k on sand mrs and our
guid e had t o get out and push us afioatthe riv er ne ver seemed to get velY deep
-and once, whe n the guide wasn't payi ng a tt e ntion to where we wer e goi ng ,
we crashed headlon g into the mnking!
The ove rha nging branches of trees to re
off the cano py of the boat and the jol t
of th e cras h s ent me. tumbling backwards. Fortunately. Bob who was s itting
right behind me. caught me and averted
what c ould have be en a most unfortunate
accident . Edwina was cut from the poles
landing on her. and otherwise we wer e
unhurt. but velY muc b surprised. The
guide. wbo had heen talking to us in an
E n'gIish that was sometimes diffic ult to
understand, prov ed tha t be co uld s wear
excellently in Englisb we bad no
t roubl e understandi ng that! Onc e we had
thi ngs back under control , it struck all
or 115 as very hilario us a nd we wer e s till
laughing wben we got back to land . We
heard him tellin g his buddies there a bout
it as we we re getting ready to leave.
Bac k to tbe motel and out by 2 p.m.,
then on to Guadal~ara. three and a bait
hours over mountain roads. F elt sure
that we wer e s eeing som e of the same
bus and truck drivers over and over.
T bey had al wass waved to us , but DOW.
t he minute they spotted us in the distance, they put on their lights and
leaned out the win dow to wave. If we
bad had any trouble along the road. we
are sure they would have helped us - a
velY comfor ting feeling in a s trange
land. In faet, the friendliness we e ncountered all along tbe was was very
re freshing and sucb a co ntras t to t he
many luri d tales one bears from s ome
tra ve lers i n Mexico. SOme of t be more
lurid ones a re highly publicized- l only
wi sb our friendly recep ti on could be to ld
from coast to coast. (EDITO R-Granted.)
Saturday night in Guadalajara is a
bi e night, we could tell by the traffic.
Entering the W
est pte of the city at
nidlt was a real thrill. It looks very
mucb like the A rc de Triomphe in Paris ,
and is errecti vely s e t o rr with lights.
We were led to our motel by t_ boys on
a small motor cy cle who were tr yi n!: to
race us at stop lights! Traffic was ~
s olutely frantic and di sorde rly : cars
!:oing through red lights and completely
disrecanlin g the 18 mile speed limit.
The change of lights from red to l:J'een
was like dropping the nag a t a race .
And, if you were (irst in line, and smart,
you ~nt orr fast before heinl: ron over!
We were gree te d at ou r motel by a
Newpor t Beach co uple, John and Ruth
H os kins, whom we had been seeing from
motel to motel. Tb ey. we re fun to be with
and most interesting,qThey had travelled
extensively in ma ny parts of the world.
They were just le a vi ng fo r dinner as we
arri ved, but waited for us to ullllack and
c hange so we all could dine together.
We lost ano ther bour today.
