Matchu Picchu

We just got back from machu picchu. I woke up at four in the morning so we could get on the first bus at 5. It was sooo cool. We hiked up the tallest mountain there (WinuPicchu). It took us an hour, but we did it.We were the first ones up the mountain. We were up soooo high and walking on tiny little stone stairs the whole time. The ruins are really cool too. We chased a couple llamas. I am going to be soooo sore tomorrow from hiking. It was an almost vertical climb, we had to go though caverns, and because of the altitude it was very hard to breathe. The higher we got, the more we had to stop to catch our breath. I have some amazing pictures. but my battery died from taking so many, so I didn´t get to take as many as I wanted. Our train left at 5 pm so we hung out in Aguas Calientes for that time, there isnt really anything to do there because it is a tourist town. It was a four hour ride home. The stars were so clear outside. I stuck my head out the window and the milky way looked so bright on the train. We hung out the whole time with some filmmakers from England who have dream jobs traveling the world all expenses paid, Alma people, Jeanie from the states, and Timone from Holland. There were so many Japanese tourists while we were hiking. I could have sworn that one of them was uncle George because he looked just like him. This one lady started talking to me in Japanese because I think she assumed that I knew it. I thought it was funny. We just came back and ate at an indian food place that has vegan food. It was really good, though, I think that after hiking up and down hills for four hours, everything tastes good. Now I have class again everyday. It have learned so much this week. I talked in spanish so much today that my head was hurting from thinking so hard. Its getting easier though. We went to a market today and talked with people from the market with our professor and learned the names for tons of food. We then had some really really really good juava especiales. It has a ton of fruit in it, some dark beer, and milk. It was amazing. I got my haircut yesterday for 5 US dollars and I love it (as seen above, but this is a bad picture of it). I need to go home and do some homework. Enjoy the pictures.

Cameron Diez is in Cuzco by the way...
