We lelft N.Y. International Airport at 9A.M. on a Pan American jet plane, capacity 144. At 11 we were served a lunch of chicken breast, celery-mushroom soup, salad, roll, petit four & coffee. At 12 we came down at San Juan, Puerto Rico for 45 minutes - very windy, & hot. We heard baby chickens peeping in boxes on their way from a hatchery with a Spanish name, & saw about 6 large boxes of them. About 2:15 we came down in Port of Spain, Trinidad for 45 minutes, & collected our first insects by searching in the weeds outside the customs office while most of the other passengers were inside at the bar. At 7:30 (9:30 Brazil time) we arrived at Brasilia after a long dark flight over jungles & rivers with only lightning in the east until we were right at Brasilia.
