Back from vacation in Peru - with a marvelous visit to Machu Picchu, surely one of the wonders of the world. In fact, right now you can vote to create a new, modern "7 Wonders of the World" and include Machu Picchu. I sure did!
We hiked the Inca Trail to the site, 4 days of pretty intense treking. We had a wonderful group, guided by PeruTreks, and saw hummingbirds, orchids, the lovely Andean Rose, along with amazing Agaves, bromeliads, and of course bamboo!
The city is truely amazing, even in the heavy rain we had all morning. Then the clouds lifted and thinned, and Wow! a magical city among the clouds and mountain peaks.
It's good to be back home too though. 2007 resolution: learn a little Spanish. South America is a marvelous place and I loved the people and culture of Peru. It would sure help to be able to converse a little better!
