I do sympathise. At least she was unhurt. I hope she did not advertise her packages by having them on the seat with her.

Wish I could join you all, but will be moving to Arequipa in may. To Cayma that is. You all have a great gathering.
PS My girlfriend just told me, that place has the best sweets in the whole Arequipa!
