Machupinchme

Machupicchu is the most incredible place Ive ever seen. The ruins were cool, but the hour and a half trainride through the jungle to the mountain was more impressive. After a Spanish tour through the ruins we took a hike to the Ican Sungate. It was absolutely breathtaking. I mean this literally, I was gasping for air like a fish out of water in the attempt to climb ancient stone steps laid by Incans in a time that I can´t imagine existing. When we finally reached the top it was more than worth it. Words cant describe, so I wont try. Ive seen some beautiful views in my life, but this tops all. Andes mountains as far as you can see until they disappeared into the clouds, untouched waterfalls pouring into a river below, and a flawless stone structure to rest on and take it all in.

I took part in a ceremony of gratitude for Mother Earth by saying a quick prayer and a swig of wine after pouring a drop into the earth. I have no doubt that my prayer was heard because if its true that Heaven is a place located in the clouds, I was knocking right next door.
