I am so glad that Machu Pichu is not in America. Somewhere along the way we would have built a road to it and made seeing it a much more efficient logical experience, and I would not then get to ride a train through the sacred valley.
As it is- there is no road to Machu Pichu and a 3.5 hour train ride is a lovely necessity. We got on the train and just spent the time staring out at the scenery- they even played "condor pasa" on pan pipes on the stereo... over and over and over- and get this- we didn't even mind!

| Wilder excited to be away from the annoying boys: Luca, Daniel, and Innes. |
 |
| They both wore these Peru jerseys for 3 straight days. |
 |
| Oh you're taking pictures? Well I'm taking pictures too. |

 |
| We all liked the touch of place mats and fresh flowers on the table for snack time- maybe airlines could follow suit. |
 |
| This was pretty cool- zipper tracks. To lose elevation quickly the train would stop and reverse on lower tracks, then repeat- like a big zig zag. Amazing Incan technology! |

| Luca, join me and together we will rule the Incan empire. |
