From mid-February through April 30th, when we left Cuzco, we had friends and family visiting us almost every week.  It was so fun to see different parts of Peru with each of them.

One of the highlights of our travels was getting to do the Incan Trail – the four day hike to Machu Picchu – with four friends!  Mark, Michael, Rebecca and Christena – thanks so much for joining us on this part of the experience!

I am mainly going to let the photos speak for themselves…but…we had an awesome time, saw beautiful places, ate more lavishly than any other trail we’d ever been on, had porters who carried amazing amounts of things on their backs – ran ahead of us and made lunch, ran again and set up tents and made dinner, and did it all in sandals.  We walked through ruins, sometimes on rocky steep stairs, sometimes on dirt roads and finally made it to Machu Picchu.

Enjoy photos of the process!

These and more are also going to be posted on facebook.
