Machu Picchu

I am a little embarrassed to admit this, but I have never heard about Machu Picchu until we started planning on our trip. Since then, I have heard many stories about how people have been hoping that one day they would have the chance to visit this glorious place. Some even have posters in their rooms for years, trying to make their dream a reality. I'm sure that you might find it on a few Bucket Lists too. Well not mine, but if it was, that would be a check for me.

I am truly blessed. It is truly amazing and breathtaking. I hate to use the word awesome, but really it was Totally Awesome!!! From the views to the weather. Everything was spectacular. If it's not on your Bucket List, I would recommend adding it.

Here are just a few of the many pictures that I snapped up of Machu Picchu.


Remember what I said about AWESOME?


I look so dumpy, but I needed to post a shot of me there.

Stairs for days. No fun for the knees.


A little hale on the cliff.


Look at that masonry work.

Do you see the chinchilla? At least that's what they said it was.

Afraid of heights?
