Crime

I am back in Quito now, and I am just amazed at how much the crime level has gone up in the last six months. A few weeks ago, my cousin was held up with several others at a Bible study. Today, I was in a cab driving down one of the main roads here at 11:30 in the morning and I saw a vehicle being held up. There was nothing to be done. The robbers had guns and all I could do was watch as we drove by.
