Lunch time was followed by an orientation from Celeste and our tour guide for Machu Picchu. It was a good check in about cultural customs and expectations as well as an overview of the itinerary for our trip. You'll hear a synopsis soon enough, but this trip is going to be packed and go by far too quickly!
Today we learned a couple of things:
Coca tea is a lifesaver at high altitude! No headaches for us. :)
Also, all five of us managed to fit into a car slightly smaller than a Toyota Echo as a taxi into town. I think there is a picture somewhere of how we all managed to squish in the backseat. Haha
We walked around the plaza for a bit tonight (sunset is around 5:30) and there are so many amazing sites to see! We found the 12 sided rock... After walking past it three times and asking for directions. Whoops!
Off to bed to sleep a bit before an early morning at the school tomorrow. Manos Unidas, ready or not, here we come!
