Hello all,
I'm afraid this isn't a happy update. On friday night my bag was stolen right from underneath my feet, and it had pretty much everything of value to me in it. I had been walking around all day so I had alot of stuff with me, like my credit card, money, keys to my house in Cuenca, drivers license, prescriptions, etc etc. But what really makes me upset is that my camera was in there. And some of you know that right before I left for Ecuador I made a big purchase and I bought myself a reallly nice camera. I have been wanting a camera like this for a long time and so I saved up and finally treated myself to one, hence the gorgeous pictures I've been able to take. The camera was about $700. I get sick to my stomach when I think about it being lost. I don't even care about the money, I canceled my card and a new one can be sent to me, I just want my camera back.
I was at a local bar/restaurant that is really nice and known to be a safe place to go, it was around 6:30 p.m. and my bag was underneath the table in between my feet, but I guess thieves do this for a living so they are good at what they do. Somehow they got it and got out of the bar without me or any of the other 7 people I was with noticing. And all of us were completely sober so it wasn't like we were being all crazy and not paying attention.
The university says there is a slight chance (like 5%) that I can get it back, all I need is the serial number and a description of the camera (and perhaps a bribe slipped to one of the corrupt police officers) and they might be able to locate it since they know where to go for stolen goods.
Anyway, I'm asking you all to please send all the positive and happy energy my way and concentrate hard on the 5% chance that my camera can be found. I really really need this.
Thanks everyone,
Lindsey
Hopefully next entry will be much happier!

Hi Lindsey
I'm really sorry to hear about your bag and your camera. I don't know why people have to do things like that. We work hard to get what we have. They think they can just take it like we can replace it in an instant. Just remember it is just stuff, most of it can be replaced. The most important thing is you didn't get hurt.Well on to brighter things.
You are an amazing girl!!!!! You are on a trip of a life time. All the things you've done and seen most people just read about. Enjoy every moment (except for the bag thing). I wish I had done something like this when I was younger. Sandy has been keeping me updated but she leaves out alot of the details. The mts and the jungle are amazing. I've got more to say but my lunch is over so I have to go. I'll wright more later.
LOVE YOU
Dale
Hi Linds!
I will pray that you will be one of the 5 percent! How could they-to such a beautiful person! Well, one day they will reap the reprecussion-it is for God to judge. I bet your mom was shaking her fist at him! I can't wait to see you. We will have to get together before you go back to Iowa. I will continue to look for more entries-happy ones :) God Bless and Keep you Safe!
Love, Sandy, Dale, Cassie DTD
