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.

Cuzco to Aguas Calientes
We take a bus and a train from Cuzco to Aguas Calientes, the gate to Machu Picchu.
Today's embedded video is of the crazy parrot seen out our hotel window in Aguas Calientes.

Ruins Ruins Ruins
Today, I uploaded the pics from the day we took a couple tours around Cuzco to visit a whole bunch of ruins. And the folks I was with were the type that if you could climb it, you had to reach the top. It was an exhausting and tiring day. We were sorely ruin'd out by the end of the day.
Today's 30 second embedded movie comes from the Ollantaytambo ruin.

The road to Cuzco
Here we get a little bit closer to Machu Picchu as I document the long and arduous tourist bus ride from Puno to Cuzco:
The movie of the day is of me chasing an alpaca and it's running away from me because I'm calling it a llama:
