"No churches or parks, banks or mills in general were seen. 30 Went about the town visiting temples, shops with many Hedges & day. Weather hot & melting & cloudy but no rain. Various sorts of metal work such as cloisonné, damascene & bronzes are manufactured here in small shops by a half dozen men. In the afternoon we took an automobile seven to the outskirts of the town, along the river were many children in bathing & both sexes. Washing in a wholesale character also being performed near browes & cyphlomona, activities, heavy waffles & a few timber trees grew about the temple gardens. A long ride took us to the Izodzen Rapids. Here the river flows between deep wooded hills.
