We’ve had an amazing early morning roaming around this
ancient jewel and it’s time to earn lunch! Up up up we hike
overlooking Machu Picchu.
Waynapicchu, one of the closest mountains
Incans have paved the way with
a treacherous stairway, yet there is a happy trail of visitors from all over the world who puff out encouragement in their native tongues to everyone still on their way up.
I would be scared to hike this in the rain – but the views at the top are definitely worth
every ounce of effort to get there.
Some rejoice in the
strength to climb, others are happy to sit so high and catch their breath and not fall off the boulders at the peak!!
If you get the chance to visit this amazing piece of history– think seriously about hiking Wynapicchu. It’s a difficult hike but absolutely worth it.
We three from B42 (my PC training group)
take a few moments to celebrate our service at the top and give thanks for all these incredible experiences and lifelong friendships we’ve been so blessed to have.
Careful on the way down
– it’s just as dubious a descent!
This is undoubtedly one of the best trips I’ve ever had the good fortune to go on; my thanks go out to the entire crew – thank you for making this such a special experience!
Suerte con todo en sus vidas – que Dios les bendiga e que no les olvidan de disfrutarses del amor de cada dia!

Our guide counsels us to give bread and school supplies to the children and families we see along the way

and a few Nunnettes learned all about coloring Easter eggs and Easter egg hunts in general.

. They usually toast them or use them to make a peanut soup that has actually become one of my favorite foods here in Bolivia ! But rarely are they harnessing all the nutritional power of peanuts - and in a country where good nutrition is quite low on the scale of priorities that’s more than unfortunate.
