1/15 – Machu Picchu, Peru

Our trip to Machu Picchu began with a train ride aboard the Hiram Bingham Railway where we were welcomed with champagne, music and dancers. We enjoyed a very pleasant three hour ride aboard their very elegant train. They served us a delicious four course brunch and enjoyed one of their local bands in the “bar car” for awhile. What a way to travel!

There are no words to describe Machu Picchu—the Lost City of the Incas. It truly took my breath away and brought tears to my eyes. This stone city was constructed by incredibly sophisticated techniques with huge blocks of stone fitted together perfectly—an example of precision that is elusive event with laser technology used today. I was amazed at how large the city really is!
