A fter our interesting drive from Mexico » high elevation huge capital city
llirough interesting I'u ehla, we checked in at a modern beachfront hotel-a
little south of the significant historic port and resort city of Veracruz, with a
population approaching three m illion as ihe moonlight was showing the
while edging of the waves breaking on the beach
Hie principal historic jewel we saw was Ihe over 400-year-old fortress
" t 'lu a " tiuilt by the early Spaniards and used through Ihe years by the
Spanish. French arid Mexican forces a» a fort and as a prison There were
Mexican Navy vessels al anchor there From (he fort we toured about the
city stopping at a bunk where we were given 226 pesos for each of our U S
dollars doing some shopping in the multitude of small shops, und then
having an Interesting luncheon at a riverside cafe where a fine group of
musicians entertained us I enjoyed several walks along Ihe beach each
morning and evening before we departed lor our bus trip along Ihe gulf coast
to more southerly Villaherm osa H e drove (hrough acres of banana trees,
ugarrane. and pineapple
Our noon slop thal F'nduy al I-ake Catetnaco was unusual Before we ale
we took a I m m I trip in this large lake lo ihe island of the diving fishcalching
monkey* H i' also saw some clusters of Ihe 2(X) species of birds thal live
around the lake
Villaherm osa is a sm aller city than Veracruz H i saw a modern housing
project where the buildings seemed to lean toward one another, making
large letter A » and wc enjoyed walking through Ihe outdoor Museo do la
\e n ta . with its rem arkable pre < olumhian collection dominated by huge
done heads < arsed tiy the Olmec» tiefore Ihe tim e of Christ and with a few
native animals crocodiles and coatimundi. etc > Then our bus look us

H e were at this site several hours and I managed lo clim b lo the top of Ihe
I ’.dace, a large, central, pyram id like building, a tew parts of which weie
re< onstructcd in 1955 It contains more than 25 rooms and many deep
passageway*
\fle r we drove dow nhill from that deep jungle area we lunched al a large
,de near a w aterfall on the Otulum Kiver Hi turning to Villaherm osa. we
gathered our luggage moved out to the airport, had supper there and
b ti ded a rather late Aeoromexico plane (or M erida in Yucatan H e parted
n th our excellent guide Haul at the airport and he flew hack to Mexico City
H e reached M erida after midnight and were taken to a midcity hotel The
nest day we traveled eastward atxmt 75 miles to ihe great Mayan shrines al
Ctm hen Itza probably the most visited historical site in Mexico This site
combines vestige* of neversl cultures, the pure Mayan and the later Toltec.
its older structure* date from l .ixxi B C
Mong the highway to Ihe site wc passed through several Mayan towns in
one of which we stopped and walked through a typical family home that
consisted of two oval shaped buildings The one closest to the roadway held
the fam ily shrine, the many hammocks hanging from Ihe ratters that are
pulled down (or fam ily beds and a curtained storage area The second,
m a ile r and more open air, oval building was the kitchen building There
C o o k in g pot» were bubbling on a low (ire made of twigs Dried foods I com .
tx-.ins, ric e ' were slored nearby I did not observe electricity or running
w .der in eilher building Out In the backyard there was a pig tethered to a

That day we had lunch and shopped in the village very near Ihe historic
site Surrounding the site and aliout the huge grounds, tielween the large
buildings and along the walk to the sacred well there were peddlers selling
var mns items to tourists During Ihe w arm afternoon I tx-gan feeling ill and
returned to our bus while Inez was still looking about
I developedquile a fever and needed help Irom a d<K-tor after we returned
to M erida The next morning, however, with considerable help from Inez. I
was able lo begin our long day of flying hack to Boise which included stop* at
airports in Mexico C ity, at Ihierta Y a lla rta where we each paid our 1600 peso
departure tax and then at San Francisco
i Hir night flight to Boise went quickly and we spent a short night there
before flying to Pendleton on Monday. Keh I I and coming home in Inez's
waiting car in mid afternoon H e were both pleased with the tour we had
taken because we saw the great historic sites which interested us. because
we learned so much about tremendous Mexico City and other significant
