Mexico City Aug. 31 Friday But up early to get to P[as] Pa[u]l near Acamameca at the base of Popocatepetl. In the party: Dietze, Credner, Weilbach, Schenck, Juber, Kreijand and myself. Several times along the trail we pit roosts of the two hut[s] and especially of the White Woman. Shortly after leaving the city one pass through the flat country once Lake Texcoco. Even now in the wet season there is a little of the lake and in places men are netting for fish. This lake in Montejuemes time must have been a very shallow lake: the lowest part of the plain and con- siderably removed from the volcanic ridges. In looking about one sees an almost flat plain until within the vicinity of the huts when the ground is seen to rise and the rapidly into the huts. In other words the rolling of Mexico are the infilling between the huts. In one place salt pits could be seen along the shallow margin of the lake. See along the trail to Acamameca to the south- or we see small and large volcanoes, small isolated ones to those in a group all facing to the White Woman and Popote.
