Crossing into Peru

Arrived here in Piura after another night bus ride from Loja, where I stayed for a day and a half. As I was leaving the bus station in a taxi with 2 others from the bus around 7 AM, we noticed 2 guys running past, then several seconds later we could see that a girl from the bus had been robbed of her carry-on bag - she was running after the guys and crying out about her passport. In the chaos of people and traffic it was impossible to pursue the thieves.

Taking a flight later this morning to Lima to meet with the folks with the Peruvian branch of the international Christian conservation organization A Rocha (Portuguese for "The Rock"). Of all the Latin American countries, the organization currently has branches only in Peru and Brazil.
