We went to Machu-Picchu today! We ate breakfast and set off. We walked up a beautiful jungle path filled with creepy and eerie sensations but they decided to be silent when we were there. We peeked around an overgrown archway made of palm leaves and realized why we were here. There in front of us was the most mystical thing we had ever seen (well of course that was because the air was filled with mist.) I looked up to see towering walls of power with every stone placed in its one perfect position.
Our group walked for a while then came to what was my favorite place, I called it The Echoing Chamber. We all scrabbled in the small space and attentively listened as our guide starting talking, “this is a room for music, when the wind blows from the west the music will play by blowing through the rocks” and he showed us a demonstration. We walk out of “The Temple of the Wind” and everything happened so fast after that. All of a sudden our guide left and then we had lunch and before I knew it we were walking down from Machu Picchu as we finished our miraculous journey.

Happy Birthday Sinclaire!! What a way to celebrate a birthday. Hope you enjoyed the hike and the views. Very nice narrative I might add. It's raining cats and dogs here, and yes, we are still in Grass Valley. Happy belated B-Day to you too Catherine. The Bilheimer girls really know how to party.
