biting flies or mosquitoes
A night? The only animal
trapped has been the horse
with 3 pinings mosquitoes.
This morning we had a
heavy joint fog which lasted
until 10 AM. Yesterday
there was a similar fog
whirling down from the
hills the valley being filled
by a freezing white mass in
which we could look down
to the valley where the sun was
shining brightly as we descended.
(18) The next last night people
were filling the village
with loads for the market
day, all morning they
streamed in by small
parties carrying loads on their
backs or poles & knives for hire.
Most of the people came
from the far side where
a high range bounds the valley
as a wall & reaches 900 feet.
