Oscar Eckenstein Diary Entry

 Wednesday / Thursday, 3 & 4 April 1901

 

 

 

On April 3rd. we [Eckenstein and Aleister Crowley] once more left Mexico City, and went by rail and tramway to Chalchicomula, the town nearest Citlaltepetl, and W.S.W. of it. We found, however, that the next five days being local and other saint's days, no transport could be obtained. Citlaltepetl is a mere scramble, and presents no special interest; its ascent is regularly made for sulphur collecting purposes. We therefore decided not to wait, and returned to Mexico City.
