One last picture from Aguas Calientes before we boarded the bus for Machu Picchu. I love his hat and shawl!
We are getting closer!
Where you get off the bus, there is like a check in area and a restaurant. We were scheduled to eat lunch before going to the site. It was the longest lunch ever! We were a little concerned we might have rainy weather as it had rained all night and into the morning. But we were blessed with a beautiful afternoon.
First views of the ruins. You can see our guide's little flag.
Machu Picchu!
Listening to our guide and getting a little rest. Sisters Waddell, Gardner and myself. Sister Gardner mentioned that she thought I was very quiet. I just had absolutely no voice. My cold of the last few days settled in my throat and I whispered for the last 2 days of the seminar.
The rock formations were absolutely amazing.
The workmanship is inspiring, it would have been great to see the Incas building all this.
I love the layers of rock and mountain.
Terraces
Kind of the incan work area, alot of the granite rock that they built with.
This piece of rock not only mimics the out line of the mountain range behind it, but also is kind of the form of a cuy, the little gerbil guy that is a popular main course for dinner.
As we were walking along this llama appeared, by the time I got my camera on all I got was his backside.
The river down in the valley.
This stairs are pretty cool, they look like they were molded out of rock.
stairs are everywhere
