Today's Was The Day

this was the day we were most excited about

we had been planning our trip entirely around this one day 

and that day was the day we went to
Machu Picchu

this day started off super early at a  3:50 am to be exact

we started off hiking but it was so dark and we didn't have a light so we had to wait around till some other people started so we could see

so we started off hiking and got to the bridge to cross over to the trial 

and there was someone there checking tickets 

and luckily there was because some how we managed to leave without Phils ticket 

so he had to go back and look for it

(it was in Tawnis journal for some reason we don't know)

any ways while Phil went back me and Tawni pressed on hiking

so we didn't really know that it was going to be such an intense hike

I didn't eat breakfast so I was running on nothing basically and I was just not feeling it on the way up

but ahh what a beautiful hike up it was 

once we got to the top we had to wait till Phil got up there to go in

so we waited like and hour 

and then we stared to get a little worried and we couldn't get a hold of him

and we were like frantic trying to find a phone to use when I looked over at the road

and there he was walking up the road 

we were so excited to see him we went running and gave him a big hug

So as soon as he got there we went straight in because we already had a tour waiting on us 

my first glimpse of the ruins was kind of breath taking 

Its so hard to believe that people actually lived there 

really I can't use words to describe this place 

its so incredible 

pictures do not do it justice

Our tour lasted about 2 hours and then we went on a little hike

at the end of the hike we sat and just stared at the ruins from afar for about an hour

it was just so surreal to be there

we spent about 9 hours there exploring the place

the neatest thing about Machu Picchu is that you can actually touch things

you can go in the little caves

walk in the places they walked

we got lucky and got to see it in the fog and in the sun 

and both ways was just a cool

I personally liked it better with all the clouds

it made it a little more I don't know hidden and mysterious 

at the end of our time up there we sat down at the entrance and just stared some more

non of us could get over that place

its absolutely beautiful

I urge anyone who ever gets the chance to go 

TO GO 

Its worth every penny 

there going to be closing it down in a few years because the place is sinking from all the people

so go soon so you get the chance to really see it
