Panama to Buenos Aires: October 17th

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims.  Today, we are with Mother Cabrini at the port of Piata in Peru. She is going to describe it as looking very desolate and it seems not much has changed. If you go look on google maps, it is a brown, dry desert. There is not much color.  The word Piata is not a Spanish word, at least not that I could find. So, I don't know exactly what it means, but there is a port of Piata, so maybe it's just a name.  Let's hear about Mother Cabrini's time now in Peru by turning to page 153.
