Our camp is a few miles past the

We finally reached Huaroque today
at noon, in time to have a fine meal
of beans, tortillas, bananas, peas, and
jam (?).
In the afternoon, Ken and I went down
to the arroyo, where we caught a very
pretty Thelenota duplex which was
chasing an Agalychnis. Later on in the
afternoon one of the ninos came up with
a small box which we bought for no pay.

We spent the morning swimming in
the arroyo getting a few cichlids, catostomids,
and poecilids. The rapidity of color
change in the cichlids is amazing. One
individual had a bright yellow back
and black sides when we seized the
same under him, but in the second it
took us to lift the net out of the water, the
fish had become dull brownish-black all over.
