C.Koford 36 Journal March 27/451. (Tuesday)Wednesday) Arequipa, Peru. Mary found spannut with 3 young in snapdragon bush in patio. Windy today. I worked on cardo report. Did some shopping in afternoon. In hotel yard there is a tortoise about 3 feet long, alive - Galapagos tortoise I suppose. March 28/451. Visited Williams and he introduced me at the Banco de Credit where I sold my travelers checks for 17.85 cents per dollar and dep opened an account.

Those small enough could be classified as "samples" and passed by local aduana, then shipped. Panagra showed me bills of lading where Mrs. H.H. Heller (510 Jorge Chover) had shipped live animals to Philadelphia recently; she should know all about making shipments. Wrote letters. Worked on cardo MS.

Warm day with few clouds - "winter" apparently over. March 30, 1951. (Friday). Now not board again from Puente so am flying to Lima today via Faucett. Plane left 11 a.m. (Arequipa time) and arrived 3 hrs. later (3 p.m. Lima time). Went to some license place but did not find my licenses. Went to Hotel Bolivian for the night. Called Puente & she came over. He said my arms
