We Made It!

August 2

Day 4- Unique


Well we made it. We got up at 330 to stand in line at the checkpoint, but we were watching the sunrise at the Sun Gate and were standing at Machu Picchu around 8. 


It was absolutely amazing. I was so excited I practically ran the last 5k of our hike and was jumping up and down when we finally got there. 


The structure is enormous!  It's unfathomable that a society could have built something that spectacular so long ago. Just intense. 


I promise to tell you more about it later. But at the moment, I've been up for nearly 20 hours, hiked 5k plus spent all afternoon in the scorching sun, rode a train for 2 hours, and a
bus for another 3. I'm exhausted. 


Good night.
