Machu Picchu

I cannot begin to say how amaaaazing Machu Picchu is...the ruins, the view, the history. And I was there. Excuse me while I check reality again. Yes, where the stone walls stand among the peaks of the Andes in Peru, I stood, hiked, posed for photos with friends, and took over 300 pictures of my own. When I got back to the UAP, my roommate asked (en castellano, of course), "So how long were you at Machu Picchu? Two-three hours? Right...so you took like...2-3 pictures a minute!?" It's true, I went a little crazy. But can you blame me? Creo que tuve razon.


Everyone had to get a shot in front of the (get this) Forbidden Mountain. Renee and I got one in just before it started raining.


The rain was really refreshing after the hours trekking around the city in the sun with our guide. The clouds settled around the peaks shrouding the view in this clinging mist. Really gaahhr-geous!


Great "scope for imagination." I mean what more could a person want. Storehouses, hanging gardens, a rundown palace or two, temples, and a view that took my breath away. A dream come true. An experience of a lifetime.
