Photos from Machu Picchu

 Proof I was there! LOL

 It is amazing how they would cave out standing stone to make, steps, sitting areas, ect. I can't imagine the time and effort it would take to do some of this work.

 This is a terraced area inside Machu Picchu  that had really great acoustics so it is thought to have been a gathering area for meetings, entertainment ect. Kinda like a town hall.

 You can't see it because of the clouds but this naturally placed stone mimics the mountains behind. There are no tool marks on the stone so it formed naturally that way.

 One of the cool plants in the area.

 This is the view from one of the terraces where we decided to have an afternoon siesta. At the end of my feet it drops off about 30+ feet. Don't roll over it is a rude awaking! Just kidding Mom, there was lots of space. LOL

 A perfectly framed mountain through one of the windows in the guard area before the entrance to the main area.

 A view of Machu Picchu from the guard tower/area. This is where most of the postcard photos are taken from.
