Machu Picchu Day

Michu Picchu, it's the climb!!!!!!! We can really understand why it is one of the seven wonders of the world, it was absolutely breathtaking. Kyla, Bryce, and Rachel sprinted up to the Sun Gate and Kyla possibly tore her PCL. But she climbed up Waynapicchu, so we're pretty sure nothing is actually torn. Speaking of Waynapicchu, the top was the most beautiful thing we have ever seen! We were just amazed at God's beauty and His creation. How do people see this and not believe in His power?! And despite multiple asthma attacks Sarah made it to the top of Waynapiccchu, you go Glen Coco!! On the way down we made some new friends from New Zealand and Portugal, and A-A-Ron discussed gun control laws with the guy from New Zealand, his mind was blown. Kyla is a mountain goat, Rodney (A.K.A. Brownie, because no Peruvian can say Rodney) is the best tour guide ever, and Nicole rolled her ankle about 20 times, we're pretty sure she has no ligaments in her ankles. Everyone was really sad that we didn't get to pet a llama, so close,yet so far. A-A-Ron kept offering Bryce sunscreen, but he thought he was a man and that his skin is not affected by the sun like other mortal men, but he learned the hard way 

that when you play with fire you always get burnt. So another amazing meal at Toto's House! Alpaca is where it's at! It was so good it melted in your mouth. The sauces combined with the alpaca steak created a party in your mouth, a party like the world has never seen. It was invite only. Nicole was very excited when A-A-Ron brought back pumpkin lasagna from the buffet #BasicWhiteGirl. The ceviche (fish cooked in fruit acids like lemon, lime, and pepper) was also awesome! The rest of the day was filled with shopping and train rides and Nicole danced with clown on the train (not by her choice). Rachel's goal was to unfold every blanket in the market, she now has rotator cuff issues. Emma took so many pictures that we're pretty sure she know has carpal tunnel in her trigger finger. When Google crashes because of our drop box for pictures, you can blame Emma. We're on our way to Cusco to do more shopping before making our way back to the US, because Rachel has only bought gifts for herself so far. We are very sad that this is our last day in Peru, and we wish we had more time here. It was such a great a trip and it is something we will remember for the rest of our lives. Praise Jesus!
