Machu Picchu!

So we made it. After all the road block issues and changing of times we made it around 9 am. The race was on. We first ran to the Hyannu Picchu trail head to get tickets for the hike in the afternoon. You can see the pics below. Hyannu Picchu is in the background of the first picture and then that is all us on top looking down from the top. After getting tickets they only allow 400 people up a day. We then ran over to the lookout from the guard tower where the famous pictures are taken. Then we listened to our guide for 2 hours explain the history of the ruins. It was founded by a hawaiian guy in 1911 who was sponsored by Yale I think. A 10 year old boy brought him into the ruins because he could barely see them because the jungle had grown over it. We meandered through the ruins listening to what could be many reasons or ideas this area was used for. The ruins were amazing the weather was great. The hike ups was fantastic with our other travel mates. Cassies hair on the top was static electricity and standed on end. There was lightning and thunder she scared us so we made her get down to not attract lightning. We all then headed back to town after the ruins and ate lunch. Caught the train back to Cuzco. A very very good day. Anyone reading this needs to go here. It is amazing.
