He was disgusted at the conduct of the women while undergoing measurement, and at evening said, "Sir, it is a pity for you to waste your time in a town like this; these people are little better than animals; in my town there is great enthusiasm over your work, and by going there you might do your will and find people with minds, not beasts." There was really no work left to be done, but we desired to see a town where there was great enthusiasm over our investigations.

Hence, we arranged with Ignacio Cempoalteca to visit his pueblo of San Nicolas Panotla.

Accordingly, on the afternoon of the day when we visited Los Reyes, we went across the valley to Panotla, Ignacio and an older brother, Jose, met us at the hotel, where--excusing himself on account of the mason-work at San Estevan, which could not wait--Ignacio left us, assuring us that Jose would do everything for us.
This was quite true, and we found Panotla all that it had been painted.
Jose led us directly to their home.

The walls were well built of stone set in adobe mortar; they were smoothly coated with a snowy plaster; the supporting walls of the little terrace on which the house was built were also well constructed and it was with some pride that Jose told us that the work had all been done by himself and Ignacio.

Jose is married and has a wife and three children; Ignacio is a bachelor; a younger brother, Carmen, is also unmarried--he has taught himself free-hand and architectural drawing and showed us examples of his work.
