the woods fresh beauties would greet the
eve. The tallest trees l ever saw, with
apparently no bark, doomed up against
the sky. then a forest of cocoa palm,
cactus and many other beautiful trees,
and below perfect jungle of shrub and
underground. In these very tall trees
are the orchids, or sir plants, so choice
and expensive in the North. Their
scarlet blossoms are very conspicuous
in the midst of so much green. From
Rio Sucio we started for San Jose on
horseback and Immediately began the
ascent of the mountain. There was
something about our situation so awe
inspiring that for a time we rode on in
silence. The dizzy heights above, the
high wall on one side and gulf or val
ley on the other revealed by the dim
light of the lantern which light our
pathway. The scene was grand beyond
description. As we assembled we could
see the mountains high, high above US,
and looking down, the valley far, far
beneath Now and then we crossed a
mountain stream rushing and tumbling
down the precipice. The foliage on the
mountain side is dense and beautiful
Finally we began the descent, and for
twelve miles this was q most trying
time. Finally we were met By Father
Levkowicz eight miles from San Jose,
with carriages, and few miles over
rough roads brought rs to the little
city. Narrow streets and buildings
very compact greet ven on every side.
