We were up a 5:00am for another trek up to Machu Pichu. It was expected to be yet another wet day in the cloud forest but the sun was shining and gave us a totally different view of the Incan marvel. We hiked to the very top of the summit this morning and were gifted with magnificent vistas, a burst of sunshine that glistened off the damp trails, warm temperatures, and a few llamas to gawk at on the hike. I have never been so tired and so exhilarated all at the same time. I sat on a rock on the trail and said
Shehechiyanu softly to myself because it seemed so very appropriate. I'm going to allow The Husband's photographic work speak for itself because sometimes, it is best to leave the words behind.
Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech Ha-Olam
Shehchiyanu V'kimanu, V'higianu Lazman Ha-zeh.
Blessed are You Adonai our God Ruler of the Universe
For giving us life, sustaining us, and enabling us to reach this day.
**We are sadly leaving Peru tomorrow en route to Santiago, Chile. Since it is a travel day, this blog will have a day off. See you all from Santiago.
