donde estas?

Sadly I am starting to wonder if I've been had. I sent the $50 to Monica last Friday for the boat trip ticket and asked her to let me know when she'd received it. Silence. She usually took 2 days to return emails - we are now going on 4 days. I am not sure how I could have avoided this - I had to send money to someone to buy the ticket and she was recommended on several travel sites as well as on the South American Explorers Club site. $50 to me is an annoying but not huge amount to lose - to a Peruvian working in the tourist industry, it is a lot of money. I'll wait and see.
