Tom and Jennie go to Machu Picchu (safety dad would not have approved)

This morning we woke up and headed to catch the train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes.  The train ride was a bit over an hour and goes through the mountains.  The views are great and you even get to see some of the snow capped peaks.

Once we arrived to Agua Calientes, we checked into our hotel, el MaPi, and the headed to catch a bus up the mountain.  This is where Tom (the version of my dad where he kind of lets us do dangerous things or things we're not suppose to do) joined the trip and left safety dad down in the town.  The road up to Machu Picchu was pretty darn windy with lots of switchbacks and drop offs, but we made it to the top.  We had a 3 hour tour of Machu Picchu and I'm still amazed how the Inca were able to create such amazing and complex structures without modern machinery.  

I'm not going into detail because that would take forever.  Instead, just lots of pictures (taken from the iPad, better photos to come eventually).

We then headed back down (by bus) and are getting ready for dinner.

Tomorrow dad and I are waking up at 4:30am to get to the sunbathe overlooking Machu Picchu in time for the sunrise!
