Planes, trains and automobiles. Aycarumba! Today was the first of our special three-day excursion to Machu Picchu, and it was a long one. We left the ship around 9 a.m. to go to the airport to catch a flight to Cusco, which for you topograpy-philes is over the 11,000 foot mark. From there, we took a bus to a llama and alpaca farm, another bus to an ancient Incan temple, a train to our hotel in Aguas Calientes and finally, a walk to dinner around 10 p.m.
Our particular little tour-group for the day was comprised of just 20 people--two of whom were William Webster, the former director of the CIA and FBI, and the aforementioned Sandra Day O'Connor. One was old, surley and demanding; the other was old, kind and grabbed his wife's butt when he didn't know people were looking. Leave it to the investigative/enforcement types to be the fun ones in the group.
