We didn’t let any moss gather under our feet. After lunch & checking in at the Sanctuary, we
began our first adventure to the famous Wonder of the World. It was beyond description. The walk was a bit of a climb and the group
rested at times. This altitude thing
really gets to you! We were totally
rewarded with the sites. First from
above, then we ventured into the city that was never completed and never had
anyone live there. Saw some of the
temples in process… the stone work and how precise it was… and the Inca’s had
no wheels ever invented in their time.
Moving all that rock… clearing all those trails and laying stone… How did they do so much and then so sad when the Spanish came to the territory they literally decimated 90% of
the Incan population and took or destroyed most of their artifacts.
But, enough on that… Let’s talk about Jerry’s legs! He forgot to put on bug repellent and he paid
for it. A gazillion bites… different
than normal Mosquito bites… I was so fortunate not to have gotten any!
Got back to the Sanctuary just as the rain started… AND it
was in buckets! Lightening and Thunder…
I was in heaven as I love those kinds of storms especially when I'm nice and dry in our
room.
Tomorrow, San Gate!
