Another Climb!

We tried our best to get to the gate in time to gain admission to climb Waynapicchu (the super high mountain behind the ruins), but without luck. Mainly because we were sucking wind every 10 steps on the climb to Machu Picchu. So, we arrived too late. They only allow 400 people to climb it every day.

However, Rebekah insisted that I ask if they would let us climb it even though we didn't get the necessary stamps. They said no... and as we walked away dejected, they called us back and let us do it!!! We may have had some regrets as we faced the steep ascent that faced us!

We conquered it though!





Here is a sample of the fauna... an at least 4 inch long millipede! Bekah loved it!


This is an honest to goodness part of the trail... I felt like I was a baby being born squeezing through the small opening on the other side!



Photo of the year!!!


Here we are... feeling like a million bucks with the mountains that we conquered in the background! We climbed both of those peaks back there!
