They found that when they gave one a coin, they then had a Ion string following them. Crops looked good. They saw flourishing crops of tobacco and sugar cane and tropical fruits. Irrigation practices and projects were of the most modern. They said the adobe huts looked like bird nests made of sticks and mud. They had a rough exterior. It looked near ly impossible for the many childrened families to sleep in the one-room huts. They slept on pallets on the floor.
