Protests in Peru

The teachers have been protesting here and it has made for interesting travel. Our bus leaves relatively on time. We get out of the city relatively easily and then...












The rocks were placed on the road to block traffic and were not being thrown at the cars and buses.



The protests today were worse than what we saw yesterday. We were a little worried at one point they were going to get violent when the police were firing tear gas into the crowds, and "teachers" were throwing rocks at the police. One police took a banner and it started a small scuffle next to our bus. We plan to be in Arequipa for a few days (avoiding the roads) and may just fly to our next destination!
