Seven Airports Later…

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

So. Um. I know this is gonna come as a little bit of a shock to some of you, but… we’re in Tulsa, Oklahoma. How and why we got here is a long and complicated story, but I’d like to start it by saying that it looks as though everything is okay now. We’re both doing well and are, at the moment, wearing the new pajamas that Megan’s mom had lying out on our bed for us upon our return and sipping the Nicaraguan coffee that we hauled through four countries and two hemispheres on our backs. Things are looking up.

A few days ago, Megan started losing strength in her feet and legs. She couldn’t jump or run and was having a lot of trouble walking and couldn’t move some of her toes. Then it moved to her hands and she lost a lot of grip strength. We were afraid that if it kept getting worse that she wouldn’t be able to walk and then we’d be in the middle of Bolivia (we actually never made it there), days away from an airport or hospital screaming to the heavens for a little guidance. So, after talking with Megan’s mom (who is a nurse at a hospital and talked to several doctors about the situation) we bought tickets home. It took us three days of plane travel, six flights, and seven airports to get here. But last night we did. In the meantime, Megan improved enormously. She is not 100%, but she’s on her way. Thank the lord above.

Megan has had to endure alternating taunting and weeping about her condition at the hands of moi. So… she gets a gold star for that. Well, that and keeping her cool in a situation that looked scarily dire for a couple of days. She was super cool through it all, while I was the one freaking out (I mean, who couldn’t have guessed that one). So… add a cookie to that gold star of hers.

For those family members that were following the situation, thank you for all your good wishes, prayers, and thoughts. We felt them. And we’ll keep you all updated about what we’re up to in the days to come.

Much love,

Sarah (with help from Megan who got all crazy, scary sick and then got better)

Yup, We Went to Machu Picchu

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

Machu Picchu through a door

Originally uploaded by skavanagh.

So, a few days ago we took the long train ride from Cuzco to Machu Picchu. Because of our digestive problems and generalized laziness, we opted out of the Inca Trail, which, during February, is a day longer and apparently much more difficult. When we arrived in a horde of tourists, it became apparent why the trail is so popular — you arrive at Machu Picchu before dawn, watch the sunrise, and have the place to yourself for a good 5 hours before the first tourist train arrives. This is the way to feel wonder at Machu Picchu, not fighting through tour groups and walking very slowly up hills like you’re an ant in a line.

This doesn’t mean, however, that Machu Picchu isn’t a magnificent site. We just weren’t able to do it justice the way we planned our trip. We found ourselves a guide for just the two of us, who introduced himself as “Johnny” and told us we could call him “Johnny Walker,” which we didn’t. Without him, we would probably have missed all the coolest stuff — the Temple of the Mother Earth, the fountains, the way the Incas not only used the rock of the mountain to carve their temples but also carved the rock of the mountain into sculptures of the mountains that surrounded the city. Truly an impressive, awe-inspiring location. The Incas used it well.

Click on the photo for more shots — mostly Megan and Sarah in various “money-shot” poses around one of the most photographed sites in the world. Also, some cool shots experimenting with our new camera. Look out for Sarah in yellow.
