Enjoy by picture {words to follow soon}
of a most amazing time
in Peru the last two weeks.
5 special friends came to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
with me.
Girlfriends -
{left to right} Shaden and Janelle (current roommates in DC)
and Leah (college roommate)
and behind bench - John (!!!) and Scott
They arrived, settled into the hostel, and we took
3 days to adjust to the area and altitude
before heading out on the hike.
Fun!
And we met up with the whole group to begin the 4 day hike
We had chefs and guides and porters (who carried EVERYTHING)
up to the camp site each day.
Wonderful meals - they could open a restaurant
and be so popular!
We had some rainy days....to add to the adventure.
Um......quite steep......
Taking in the beauty
haha - Janelle!
Our whole group
Took a bike ride.....looks easy here....
NO WAY was it easy.
Salt
Afer the girls headed home,
John stayed a few extra days.
He shaved off his beard from his Appalachian Trail hike....
and I got my hair cut and washed! Simple pleasures!
Homemade dinner at the hostel
What a great time of getting caught up with each other
and getting some much needed REST.
What an amazing few days ~
with great friends.
Bucket List - check...and best of all WITH amazing friends!
{Can I just say I'm homesick now.......but Audrey and I are off
to do the last 7 weeks of this incredible adventure in South America.}
