Wait for it... (the bus climbs higher) Wait for it... (higher still)
BOOM! The Picchu. Awesome. Oh wait, the mountains were just as awesome. We can still see the mountains, Double Awesome!
The 530 buses were packed with 20 or somethings who couldn´t wait to get to Mchu Picchu so that they could quickly hike a hour and a half away. Wayana Picchu, the big mountain in the background, only lets 200 people climb it when it opens and then another 200 when those pushy turds get back down. So for the first hour or so, we were bombarded with tourists literally pushing us aside to get there first. I don´t know what that race up the extremely slippery, vertical slope was like, but I´m glad none of us were there to get pushed off the edge. I´m also glad we didn´t waste the best hours to see the ruins hiking, only to get to the top and see nothing but fog, haha!
We have a million pictures of this chinchila, but darn if he isn´t the exact same color as the stones. We also saw bunches of swooping little birds and llamas. It was pretty neat when you could exclude yourself from the tourists and it was just you and the animals and your Snickers.
We would watch all the sad folks taking tours of M. Picchu and be reminded of how much they are lame. I think the worst part is how everyone starts taking really small, really slow steps with their head down as someone who doesn´t speak Spanish, askes questions in Spanish.
I really liked all the parts where the Incans would incorporate the huge rocks that were already there.
Down there is a little stone tribute to the condor.
Swooping bird, swooping fog (not to be confused with the karate move)
A bird but not D bird of course.
Some guy tried to get a picture of himself jumping up here and nearly fell to his doom.
Someone should get this tatooed on them, like Ryan.
I have an idea, lets build a whole city with no roofs! What were you thinkin´Incan!
I can´t wait until I finnish the videos we have been compiling. Soon, soon.
Llamas was the final spelling bee word in 3rd grade and no one could figure it out. It didn´t matter for me, I´d already lost on THEIR.
Gillian is sooo beautiful!
What sdo girls talk about when they get together anyways
After 3 hours, we were sick of the crowds and wasted the rest of the day, half awake in Aguas Calientes, before returning to Cuzco.
