Board Steamer "Olympo" en Route for Paraguay
Sept. 14th 1897
Dear Psyche:
Just a week ago today I wrote a letter to Mamma from in which I said that I expected soon to go up to Paragauy. Well, I am now on the way at last. Have been on the boat since yesterday a little past 1 o'clock. It is now half past 2. Wish that all of you were along with me on this trip for it is really delightful. River boating is quite different from ocean sailing — no high waves, rolling about and sea sickness. The scenery too, along the Paraguay river is quite enchanting compared with the very flat and monotonous pampas country to the west, south and north of Buenos Aires that I had previously travelled over by railroad trains. Here the right bank at least is quite high and bluffy like that of the Missouri in Iowa and Nebraska. The country back is also gently rolling and is covered with woods dotted here and there with square green fields of wheat. The farm houses are white, one-storied flat buildings that contrast well with the varied greens of the land
