Geo: -13.1628, -72.5158I love trains! We took a train up to Aguas Caliente from Cusco and saw amazing vistas. We stayed the night there and unfortunately got some wicked bites on our lower legs that had both Jim and I in a scratching frenzy.

Paul and I really enjoyed this entry because it brought back so many good memories. After we left Machu Picchu we could identify other travelers who had been there because of the bites on their legs. Isn't sunrise at MP glorious. Five years
ago they did not charge to climb Huayna Picchu. I think ones willingness to climb it should be payment enough. Coming down was the most challenging for me. Safe travels and thanks for sharing your experience through words and pictures.

You guys look deliriously happy! I have always been interested in the mysteries of the ancients. Looking at these photos, I certainly hope none of them were sleepwalkers! Thanks so much for sharing your journey.
