Another common hedge plant is the gray Mexican pulque plant or century plant. On the hillsides maize fields were seen but in the valley are every dense to rice? Not winter crops of broad beans or wheat were seen. The rock front is everywhere gray limestone.
The hillsides furrowed clay soil which is very slippery or greasy when wet. Down one limestone cave which connect with one of those holes or basins seen here in the hills. We camped at 5 P.M. at the village of Moo-moo in an old temple on the side hill above the rice fields.
