Happy Machu Picchu Eve
It really should be a holiday for a lot of the tourists here. I’m in Aguas Calientes tonight, a pure tourist-trap-of-town cultivated for no other reason than the fact that tourists needed a launching pad to Machu Picchu. There was no other town in the vicinity when the Peruvian government decided to start pimping out the ruins in the early part of the 20th century.
Back to Machu Picchu Eve. Many of the people who are visiting the ruins have been dreaming of this for years. I’ve been dreaming of it for months. Not that I’m not totally excited about the fact. But it was never on my radar in the way that the Pyramids at Giza have been. Or the Roman Coliseum was. So while I’m completely in awe of the pending visit, lots of my tourist colleagues are realizing a long time dream. So for these people it is indeed Machu Picchu Eve.
I’ll rise at 4am tomorrow, mostly because they only let 400 people a day climb the peak that overlooks the ruins — the site from which all the famous photos are taken. And one recent visitor said he got in line at 6am and he was way too late.
So sleep tight my North American friends… tonight Machu Claus is coming, only he prefers ceviche to cookies and milk.

Well good morning to you my Son.
4 am HUMMMM!!!
Have you considered buying a package of post cards and just taking pictures of them. ha
Glad to hear from you and hope you get some good photos.
Just how Caliente/hot is it down there this time of the year?
Have a good day and am enjoying the feedback from you.
Love You
Dad
Mom and I are watching Fox News and they are covering 3 girls that went to Peru (Machu Picchu) and one of the things they ate was LLama meat.(a cow with a long neck).
They also found that the signs posted along the route were not always correct.
Soooo have a big LLama Steak tonight and enjoy.
Dad
This morning when I woke up to the smell of rotten ceviche, I was disappointed that Machu Claus never came. Maybe he DOES prefer cookies and milk.
They’re pimping out the ruins, eh? So that’s what lured you.
Caron and I thought that since you will be toasting us with the local drink, we should crack open the bottle of Andrew Rich Syrah you gave us a few years back. So, cheers!
By the way, have they stolen your Charmin-To-Go yet?
