Breakfast on the Terrace (no I didn´t shower)
Llamas and Indiginous Peruvians
View of the Sacred Valley
View of Inca Ruins at Pisca
Wow, what a couple of days I have had. Today was amazing. I am exhausted but very happy. Yesterday I took the Sacred Valley tour, where I was able to visit the Inca ruins of Pisac and Ollataytumbo and lunch in Urubamba. It was a gloriously beautiful day. This is known as the rainy season, however I was richly blessed with great weather the past 2 days. I am loving Peru. It is a beautiful country and the scenery and grand beauty of nature is very good for my soul. I even like the coldness in the area. It adds to the mystery. I feel happy and relaxed for the most part. Every day I am reminded how blessed I am to have this opportunity and I am very glad to be here (even with the tons of other tourists). I feel I am starting to relax at an even deeper level and really be able to soak in the atmosphere of the areas.
Here are a few photos of the Sacred Valley tour. I´ll post a bunch more on my photo site when I get a chance. I am dead tired and ready to sleep. It has been an intense few days of strenuous hiking, but I feel alive and wonderful. Hiking Inca trails is invigorating and just being outside doing something physical feels so healthy and happy. I am just happy to be here and don´t wish to be anywhere else but where I am at the moment. I just plan a few days at a time and make my way from one place to another.
Life is fleeting and I am trying to soak it in as much as possible. I am capable of much more than I realize and I like the opportunity to explore the bourndaries of my capabilities and living completely on my own. It makes me vulnerable, yet open to possibility. It is as simple as a quick breakfast on a second floor terrace near the plaza. It was only 15 minutes, but a great meal, great view and a peaceful existance. It took work at first to relax and not always think of what was next but finally it is becoming easier and more normal, less effort to just be...this is a good thing. I was completely immersed in the moment...I know I sound sappy, but just deal with it people.
