Greene, H.
1980
16 November left MVZ with Mark A. Wilson, former student
in my herpetology course, for 5 weeks in
Peru and Chile. Seated next to Chuck Hart,
a fisheries/boat builder type from Seattle
who had formerly lived in Peru for years.
Got on plane in S.F. at ~1715, finally, ate
~2200. Long flight.
17 November arrived Lima airport ~0630, after interest-
ing very low pass over seaport - could see numerous
small fishing boats. Went to Pension Alvarado,
Ave. Arequipa 4704, and got their last room,
in an annex or adjacent side street. Went to
deliver letter from D.B.W. to Sr. Jose Rocklein, a
Peruvian businessman who's into tours,
wildlife preserves, etc. Agreed to carry
some things to Arequipa for him. Charged
some money, then went to permit office
(helpful but complicated) and to Museo
Javier Prado. Nelly Carillo & the Director,
Fenega, were out so we looked at their
exhibits and left for a nap in the
pension (very cold shower). There were
several snakes constricting in the exhibit,
one constricting "properly" a la Greene.
Dinner at La Pizzaria in Miraflores
was 5300 soles, room 4250, posbodes.
