anda, D. 1983 Journal 16 Nov. who had given me money for the trip. He gave me 20 crocodins and was very nice but warned me that we should not try to do this again because things were very strict now. I think we were quite lucky. Overall, the permit people were quite pleasant to deal with and if we follow their procedures to the T, and is fairly efficient, I believe there should be no trouble getting permits. Our next project was to secure a vehicle. We have enough equipment to justify a VW bus (combi), but they are expensive ($1700.00 dollars for 5 weeks). We found one place which rents for ~$900.00 for five weeks. The owners of the Hotel Don Francisco does rent cars, and the manager, Mrs. Bravo, said she would match the lowest price we found. We must wait until tomorrow to talk with her again to see if she found our low price correct. We are both quite tired with these full days. We took a nap and went for a walk - "Best Friends" with Burt Rogers & Dolly Dawn.
