5 syringe for thirty cents at an Antiquan Farmacia. We then drove to Guatemala City for the night. Before we left Sta. Maria we were told that the snakes viper's name was "cantil", and that they grew to at least 7 ft. This one does appear to be a baby as it retains indications of [illegible] the characteristic sulphur yellow tail tip of baby vipers. The snakes were found at 8:10 pm, in surprisingly cool weather, but not in the rain. 26/ Pickled the cantil, went to the main market in the city, where I ordered a wallet from a leather maker to hang around to my neck, to be ready tomorrow 2.50. In the afternoon mum went to see "mcap" people and daddy & I went to the palacio nacionales to see the archaeological exhibit, as the archeological museum is being remodeled, and then to some small ruins outside town, and then to the beautiful cement raised contour map (11,000') of the country with green volcanos 6 ft. tall etc. built in 1909[illegible] amazing, it helped me understand where the escarpment is etc.
