Machu Picchu

Wow!

It was everything I hoped it would be. Simply amazing. Humbling. Got some great pictures, shot some black and white too. Sally...you would have loved it!

Spent the night in the town of Aquas Caliente and soaked in some natural thermal springs. Very nice way to finish the trip.

Here, back in Cusco I´ve changed hotels and have a nice room, hot shower and...AND...cable television. That is a real treat. Although I´m pretty sick of 24 right about now.

I´ll be leaving Cusco Tuesday morning on a flight to Lima, in lieu of a 20 hour bus ride. In Lima I think I´m going to splash out and get a room at the Marriott. On Wednesday I catch my flight home.

I am ready to come home. The street vendors here in Cusco are particularily aggressive and will stalk you down the block to look at their wares. I offer one or two polite, ¨no gracias¨ before I completely ignore them. I am sick of it. I am minding my own business and if they choose to continue to hound me, well, to bad for them.

Am excited to see everyone again!!! Love to you all.
