Machu Picchu was an amazing stop, even more spectacular than the last time. Arriving in Aguas Calientes we spent two nights in order to get a full day up at the ruins. In comparison to the dry season the rainy season is living up to it's name here. There has been sporadic rain since we left Cusco and all of the rivers are pushing their banks. I don't remember the Urubamba, which flows along the train tracks into Aguas Calientes, being gentle, but it is a fast, massive muddy Class V+ all the way. Our hotel is 3/4 of a mile from one of the rapids and you can still hear the roar. This is a change from the ruins which are a tranquil labyrinth. Unfortunately Maggie hasn't been feeling well. We've eaten exactly the same things, yet she has picked up a nasty bug somwhere and I'm still fine. She is gradually getting better and hopefully tomorrow wil se a full recovery.

Hi guys! Nice pics and entries. I'm enjoying reading them. However, Maggie, I'm sorry you aren't feeling well and I am sending you feel-good vibes as I write this. What did Machu Pichu feel like? Is it easy to communicate for you guys? Keep up the great site! Miss you!

Thanks for the photos, Kevin. I am printing them for Grandma.

PS... I think what you referred to as a small uke is probably a charango.
Sweet pics guys. Sounds like an adventure! Stay healthy.
