all the way Las Tablas San Bartolo is in the field where I turn right down to the north, there Llano, itself also on the bedrig. As we get towards Las Tablas one again approach the Crek hills and here one sees a number of sparse outlui or nunatives in th plain. The plain is my duty, the true facts I much doubt. Practically a desert turns to eastern side of th plain. Like the water is in th western side. Apparently hardly anyone lives in this region. There is slow of grade from Las Tablas to Cardenas in between two ranges of low hills running parallel. One sees no water anywhere even at this time of year. The local rains today hug the hills showing where the erosion is stronger. All the upper parts of the hills have no soil all of which is washed into the lower levels and when the tuffa is also laid. The ravines in this upper level appear to be of the amphitheater type with small outlets eastward into other ravines or down the past slopes. Had dinner at Cardenas. Arrived at Tampico at 8 P.M. Stopping at the Southern promony the Hidalgo, now run by an American.
