Machu Picchu




The Machu Picchu ruins exceeded our expectations in every way. It is truly unbelieveable to imagine the Inca people creating a city with the basic tools they had. We were lucky to get some cloud breaks throughout the morning and Dave decided to climb the famous Waynapicchu Mountain that towers over the ruins. When people say "in the middle of nowhere," they might as well be talking about Machu Picchu, which sits in the middle of the Northern Andes on a mountaintop. Incredible!

We then headed down to the town of Aguas Caliente for a quick dip in the hot springs with our new friends before taking the train back to Cusco. And to end the adventure, we tried our first alpaca steaks at a small, locals restaurant. Delicious.

We figure it's our first of many trips to the ER with two very busy little girls.  (On a side note, Cora thought riding in the ambulance was really fun!) I came down with a ridiculous case of Poison Oak that was awful for about three weeks and continues to haunt me.  It seems I'm quite allergic!  Thankfully, no one else got it.  Dave drove himself to the ER in the middle of the night for an emergency appendicectomy that ended up being (and still is) more complicated than normal because of the scar tissue left in his stomach from the car accident.  That was a few weeks ago and his...
