Buenas Noches Familias!!
Last night was our first night back at the Full Moon Lodge
and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we were all VERY happy to be
back. The homestays were fun and a great experience, but it is nice finally
having a bathroom on your floor again, and not eating guinea pig… This morning
(July 3rd) Audrey and I got
the pleasure of waking everyone up at 4:45 to make our train to Machu Picchu!
We took an hour and ½ train ride, which we all attempted to sleep on
unsuccessfully. It was very exciting seeing one of the 7 Wonders of the World!
After the tour we had a lot of free time in Machu Picchu and had some options
of how we wanted to spend it. Audrey, Bella, Peter, David and I chose to hike
to the top of the Sun Temple. We were very impressed with ourselves because we
were told it was suppose to take an hour and we made it in 35 minutes! After
hiking back down we found the rest of the group lounging on the side of a very
steep cliff. We had a beautiful view of the Inca Ruins and spent the rest of
our time at Machu Picchu laying there. As we were leaving we got to pet some llamas
and Lila got her selfie with one, which she was very excited about. After
returning back to town G-banks and Meredith surprised us with Gelato, which we
were all very happy about. We played some hacky sack in the square with some other
Americans we met and now are at dinner. This restaurant has quesadillas, nachos,
burritos, and we couldn’t be more excited. We are all very happy right now! I
am looking over at the table as I write this and everybody is smiling and
laughing. We miss you all so much and can’t wait to see you!! See you all in 3
days!! Adios

Hola familias!!!
Today was our second day at Full Moon Lodge and it is a completely different world compared to the homestays. They were a great experience but everyone is happy to finally have hot showers and a mirror to be able to see what you look like. Today Cate and I were the leaders of the day and got to wake everyone up bright and early. We then headed off to Machu Picchu and got to see one of the amazing 7 wonders of the world! Cate, Peter, David, Bella, and I went on a hike to see an even better view of all of Machu Picchu and it was breathtaking. After we got done, we all got to take pictures with llamas and head back to the lodge. We are all glad to be back and at dinner with the group. There is no other way to spend the last two nights with our group in Ollataytambo. See you all in three days!! We can’t wait!
