Elizabetha Reaches Peru; Sleeps By the Pan-American Highway

Elizabetha crossed over into Peru yesterday leaving Chile behind her for the next 7-8 months.

She continued along her known coastal route and turned the corner to the NW as expected, covering 321 km (199 miles) for the day.

She roosted well out in the desert about 82 km (51 miles) northwest of Tacna and inland from the shoreline about 30 km (18 miles).

Most remarkably, she slept on a slope in a dry wash only about 300 meters (320 yards) from the highway! Check it out on Google Earth. Remarkable. I wonder if she saw trucks going by all night?
