El PeƱasco, -5km N of Maldonado, Depto Maldonado, Uruguay
Nov.19 father's car in the morning so we could go
to the Facultad to deal with the frozen
tissues. We went to a cafe to get a
sandwich around midnight, and got about
4 hours sleep.
Montevideo Uruguay
Nov.20 We got up about 5am. Enrique took a
Tapi to get his father's car and Dr Fuentes
picking. We drove to the Facultad and
emptied the nitrogen tank so we could
sort the tissues. Enrique is loaning
us part of the tissues (one kidney, a piece of
liver, and a piece of heart), from the
four animals we tagged near Maldonado.
This is the general vicinity of the
type locality for several species since
Darwin collected here during the voyage
of the Beagle. He is also sending one of
the skins to MVZ.
Enrique drove me to the airport for the
flight to Buenos Aires. The downtown
airport, Jorge Newbery, was much better
than Ezeiza - less crowded, and the
luggage came very quickly.
Arrived in Bariloche, Argentina on
schedule on Saturday afternoon and was
met by Payne and Anita Pearson.
