Comtan to San Cristobal
Up at 7:00, took care of anuide,
eat breakfast, and wrote a few letters.
Due and this inflated and out of
town toward San Cristobal by 10:00.
We stopped ~58.7 km NW of Comtan to
work for B. lartwegi - no salamanders,
but no anude, probably a Deophli. Very
dry, 1870 m, vale. Branchiade dusty-dry.
Just SE of San Cristobal we turned
NE on the road to Tenajapa. We
stopped ~21.4 km up this road at a
roadside wet with water. Very
promising wet logs, but no salamanders
in ~1 1/2 hours of walk. Karen got 1
Thamnophis, 2 anuide, and 2 andes.
Centered toward Tenajapa and made no
more stop. No luck. Many indian people
in their traditional dress. The people
here don't seem very friendly. Met
a man and woman along the road begging
me for food or drink. Drive thru the
town of Tenajapa with people shouting
at me to stop. Very uncomfortable.
We drove into San Cristobal at ~3:00 and
started a couple of anudes and brought
branchiade, slute, branchiade, arctholide, and jolte
