1927
Barra de Santiago, Dept., Ahuachapan, Salvador
sundown [illegible] and there
we stayed for the night
on the salty beach sand
not more than one hundred
yards from the breakers.
March 27, 1927 - We
were on our way at three
o'clock the next morning.
just as faint streaks of
gray began to show through
the clouds back along the
coast to the east we saw
the thatched roofs of Barra
de Santiago show up
above the sand bank to
our left. We had some
coffee and sweet bread for
breakfast. [illegible] we had
all our equipment under
a roof of cocoa nut palm
leaves before the sun
rose over the mangroves
across the lagoon which
we found to not be more
than [illegible] fifty feet
from our hut.
