Drove out toward Chalhuaco in the afternoon, but the firt bridge was so decrepid and the stream so high that we couldn,t cross. Yellow orchids in bloom in deserty parts. Dinner at Rapoport's with Barbara, Peter Feinsinger, his Chilean "assistant" from Santiago Ricardo Rossi, and a yankee student Carol ...who is interested in plant physiology. Feinsinger is taking his class tomorrow out to Chalhuaco; says there is a locked gate on private land that allows one to get across the stream...if you have a key. The Rapoport's cabin on Chiloe Island was invaded by mice during the recent ratada. Barbara is into photography, and painting with acrylics. November 11.- Minimum 55, sunny, calm. Fluecks came for dinner. They are still puttering with red deer and huemuls but no focus visible. Horror stories about a break-in robbery at their house while Joanne was home,
