Machu Picchu

We've all heard of it. Machu Picchu. We've seen photos and heard the stories of the mighty Incas building their fortress. I made sure to buy my ticket the day before and didn't know that you are able to hike to the top of a large rock (but those tickets were all ready sold out.) I boarded the first bus at 5:30 AM to beat the rush.

 

The ancient city was still in layers of fog adding a mystical touch. My breath was taken away. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe I was witnessing it and my very own two feet were here ! I went on "Super Bowl Sunday". I thought about American life back home, people sitting on their couch, stuffing their bellies with gross food, watching commercials. I was glad to be away from all of that nonsense.

I'll let the photos speak for the magic of this place.

You know all those things you have always wanted to do? 

Well, go do it !
