But with our photographs and a humorous story, it ought to be worth reading and I have picked enough curious things to make it of some value.
February 15,--Corinto.
We are back here now and rid of that dusty, dirty city.

You would be amused if you saw this place and tried to understand why we prefer it to any place we have seen.

There is surf bathing at a half mile distant and a good hotel with a great bar where a Frenchman gives us ice and the sea captains and agents for mines and plantations in the interior gather to play billiards.

Outside there are rows of handsome women with decollete gowns and shining black hair and colored silk scarfs selling fruit and down the one street which faces the bay are a double row of palms and the store where two American boys have a phonograph.

They are the only Americans I have met who have or are taking a dollar out of this country.
