Ashley M. in Peru

Hola!! How are you doing. I'm doing fine thank you very much. Today I'm going to tell you about a trip I took last week with my best friend Annie. We had sooooo much fun. Thats why I'm going to tell you about it. Duh, sorry I just had a major blonde moment. So it all begins when i got on the plane. J.K. I'm not going that far back.

So when I got of the plane I saw a beautiful sight. We were in Machu Picchu. I've been waiting for ever to be here and I finally am! Once we got to the hotel room we choose to get in our swimsuits on so we could swim in the lake of Titicaca.Wow! What cold water, it's a nice cool down though.

I think that water was a lot colder than we expected. So we decied to go back to the hotel room and get something to eat because the sun was setting. But, Annie had a much better idea. She was saying that we should check out the culture a little bit more and that we should go to a resturant instead of just getting some room service.We went to a resturant that was only 10 minutes away from the main market. Annie decided to order some sushi and I ordered chicken. I was so good. I was kind of suprised because most of the things on the menu was a lot like what we had in North America. We decided that the food was so good that we decided to give a generous tip. Then we headed back into the hotel.

The hotel was beautiful! It was rated 5 stars and we picked a wonderful sweet. We had at least a king size bead and the walls were beautifuly painted with ancient paintings. The furniture was even so lovely crafted because that was something they speacilized in.

The very next day we choose to go for a hike to The Mountain of Machu Picchu. This was one big mountain. Being over 7,000 feet above sea level. The hiking trails were split into three areas, agriculteral, urban, and religous. These are arranged like this so that the function of the buildings were able to relate and make a welcoming enviroment around them. This place is amazing and very peacful. At times you can see people medatating around at the top. This may be a long hike but it is so worth it once you get higher and higher to see the beautiful sight from a distance.

A couple days later we went for a tour around the jungle.
