1927 P. 2 Los Esesmiles, Dept., Chalatenango, Salvador of wheat on the steep mountain slopes and thrashed it out by driving horses over it. The man of the place led us into the kitchen where his squaw had prepared us a meal of "Tortellia's" cheese, milk, and coffee. The smoke from the open fire burned our eyes thus not helping much to better our vision in the dark place. That was one of the best meals I ever had in Salvador. We climbed on up to the ridge above where our guide said we would find a plain. At first it looked as though he knew what a plain was, for we entered what looked like a large grassy pasture, that was not too irregular and had the appearance of leading to better plains farther on. The land farther on, where our camp was destined to be located, I shall describe in tomorrow's notes.
