return trip to Krochow. There
was nothing caught in
the traps except one spiny
rat. I took several pictures

fields at the monastery they
grow much indigo, the plant
has the appearance of the peanut

to peanuts which are very
small, size of peas only. In the
afternoon at 3 P.M. we had
a very heavy rain storm which
lasted until 4:30 & was

the town. Caldwell says this
