Pictures from Peru

By
Real Estate Agent with Compass CA DRE# 01215160

On Wednesday I wrote a post about my vacation to Peru with Road Scholars, and my 4-day trek on the Inca Trails leading to Machu Picchu. I couldn't share pictures then, but the bug has been fixed, so I'm posting a few of my favorites here.

Peru, Runkurakay

Peru, our group reaches Machu Picchu

One of my plans for this holiday weekend is download and cull through all my trip photos -- a task that will take quite some time, but it will be fun re-living my grand adventure through the photos.

Another plan is to reflect on just what this holiday is all about, and to count the many blessings we all enjoy.

Wishing you all a good holiday weekend,

Good morning, Bob Crane - the trip was amazing from start to finish, including the difficult hiking. The Andes are in a class by themselves--very different from the Alps, the Rockies, the Sierras or anywhere I've been.

Hello Joan Cox - we hiked almost entirely on stone steps for 4 days. The 2nd day was hardest--went from 10,000' elevation to just under 14,000' - my FitBit said I did the equivalent of 243 flights of stairs!! Most challenging hike I've ever done, but also the most rewarding. Enjoy your weekend, L.

Lottie Kendall - I had no idea Peru was so roughed. That was quite a challenge and you did it! It looks to be like it could have been one of the hardest climbs. Congratulations on your achievement of conquering very old and rough terrain. Could it be that you came back a completely different person?

Patricia Feager - I've never seen mountains like the Peruvian Alps. the trip was stupendous, and yes, I think I came home changed and in awe of the people, their history, I am SO glad I was able to go!
