Waynapicchu
The very same day we visited Machu Picchu, a few of us decided to climb the mountain Waynapicchu. That huge honking nose of a mountain that sits next to Machu Picchu. Being fat and slow, half way up the mountain I told the group that I probably was going to turn back and will rest a while. They went ahead and I went the rest of the way by myself. I would talk 20 or so steps up the mountain then rest for 2 minutes. When I finally got to the top, Ivona was like, "We just got here". Right before the very top, there's a big line to get there. So, I get to catch my breath before climbing the ladder to the top which is just like a pile of rocks. But you look down and see Machu Picchu and everything is so tiny.

of course, I naturally took a movie up there for you all to watch.
