Machu Picchu

Up at 4:00am and on the train.  Sliding through the misty Andean mountains. The terrain changes as we enter the Amazon and the sun comes up.  Bromeliads roost on massive branches hanging over the train.Finally, our destination…wait, we have to take a bus up the crazy switchback dirt road and then hike up the side of the mountain.  But then… Incredible…Astonishing…Around every corner is a new discovery.     And more… I met my friend Marjorie and we spent the afternoon wandering and exploring.

It was totally amazing and worth the 4:00am start.
