AID 1973 Monday March 19 Challapalca Watched toads + lizards for the good part of the day .... which is quite restricted in length. About noon the mist and clouds appeared and the lizards disappeared. Done & I drove up to Capaya in the early afternoon - bought some bread and other stuff. On the way into "town" we stopped to watch the contest in a herd of alpacas. A group of adults seemed to be mobbing a very small alpaca. Finally, the shepherds intervened and carried the baby up up the road to a shepherd, who in turn gave it to a group of three adults, one of which accepted it as its own and the baby proceeded to nurse. There was lots of chasing and screaming in the herd. Persuaded OP to try some "Coicidi" that was in the medicine chest. I think it helped him somewhat. A very abbreviated day - with the weather shutting us in. Altiplano dog discovered our garbage pit. I tried some fishing, but no nibbles. [illegible] Concentrated on watching the lizard that lives in a hole in a Pyrenophyllum mat near the car. He had a very short day, due to the weather. Otherwise spent time cooking and eating and avoiding the bad weather outside.
