K Pearson 1969 + talked a while over lunch + coffee and the all lost Miguel + Peg drove off to the beach to enjoy the sun + see the Burriengas (sp?) which Carol had seen there this morning. Beth, Didi, Isolde and I fished around the beach, track animals and digging up holes. One conclusion we came to was that the little circles of "droppings" (?) were made by spiders. The "dropping" are carefully arranged at a given distance in a perfect circle around as central hole which regularly yielded a whick-with-a dark spot, sometimes curled up spider. A couple times the spider seemed cooch in a cocoon of sand grains + melting, but frequently the spider just didn't seem to have a "nest". We drove to the cliffs above the next village of Puerto Viejo and found an old indian burial ground -- complete with partially excavated graves + bones sitting around pieces of cloth, etc. The cut along the road showed layers of detritus from indian life over 6' high. Hard to imagine why they chose to live up on that cliff. But fascinating. July 7, 1969 Nothing in the traps so we got an early start for the Rincon Valley + high directions. Stopped in Lima at P.O. + Sears and then started up the Valley passing through the indian section of San -- incredible. The squatter settlements cover the hills
