Greetings From Machu Picchu, Peru
It's hard to believe that 3 days ago I was sitting in my condo with Diane, discussing this trip over donuts and coffee. But I'm here and slowly learning to type on a Sapanish keyboard. Si?...A few things about the locale. Machu Picchu is more than words or pictures can describe. It's immense with surrounding mountain walls that are close to 90 degree angles. It is impossible to take a picture with any camera that could capture it. Truly, this is where God lives. I love the Peruvian lawn mowers used to keep the grass short at Machu Picchu. The entire site is covered with Llamas that happily munch their days away while hanging off of the steep terrain...... In closing one quick image to leave you with. I was in the middle of Cusco, a fairly large city when I saw an older couple in traditional Peruvian dress run across the 6 lanes of insane traffic, dragging their llama on a leash. I watched with mouth open as all 3 of them dashed into a bar. There has to be a joke in there somewhere (Bill?)....In short, Peru is beyond expectations. Uno Cervasa Por Favor!!!Happy Trails, Marion

Wow, it sounds like you will have lots to share when you get home. We can't wait to see your photos and hear more. We think of you often and know that you are having the time of your life. Like Motel 6, we're keeping the light on for your return.
