Machu Picchu is Stunning
November 26th, 2008 at 6:27 am (AST) by Jake RichterI don’t have a lot of time as I need to head off on a morning hike to the Sun Gate at Machu Picchu with Bas. The girls are sleeping in.
We arrived at Machu Picchu yesterday afternoon and spent a few hours touring the ruins. Amazing what the Incas managed to build - and all without ever having discovered the wheel!
We’re staying at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge - the only hotel within easy walking distance of the entrance of the archeological site. Very nice property. And they even have Internet access!
Below is evidence of our presence at Machu Picchu.

Omg…a lifelong dream for me being an archaeologist! How cool. Is it just me, or does Bas look like a little old man in this pic! HA!
