Choquequirao

OK, so BEFORE I made the mistake of checking my email, and finding out that everything fell apart the minute I went on vacation, I want to report that I did a four day hike to Choquequirao an Incan ruin far far away from anything convenient. I have not done any real hiking (meaning more than a few hours) since college, so I was a bit apprehensive, but the whole thing went off pretty well. We did it in four days and three nights, cooked on a camp stove, slept in a tent. We did not backpack, though. We hired mules and and a kid to take them along. I think I might have fallen off the mountain if I had had to carry anything more than a water bottle, a camera, and a jar of Nutella.

Machu Pichu tomorrow.
