Now don t all get upset, but on Sunday my passport, credit card and debit card were stolen from my backpack.  I left my bag alone for a minute in my hostel and when I got of the bus three hours away my little travel wallet was gone.  After a couple of days on the phone I did cancel my cards and the embassy should soon have cancelled my passport.  Getting a new debit card will take a coupld of weeks at least and Im working on the whole passport thing.  Overall, it has been quite a learning experience and Im doing okay with all of it.  I ll let you know more when I m not so carefully counting my queztales and can use more internet time.
