9/18/17 Day 3 to Winawayna

Today we climbed another summit (12,234 feet) which was followed by a steep descent. After this is it was an up and down day followed by another steep descent.  At one point we went through a small tunnel. We took pictures before going through it. Christian our guide hid inside and came out and scared me (Tom) and a few others as we  went through.

The day was very foggy so we didn’t get to see or take pictures of the views but it’s okay because we’re hoping for clear skies for tomorrow’s trek to Machu Picchu. We did manage to entertain ourselves by talking about our favorite cartoons.  Most of the others were remembering their childhoods but we were remembering our kids.  It was fun to learn that kids in the US, Canada, UK and Australia all loved SpongeBob, the Rugrats and Blues Clues.

We stopped to see a couple ruins along the way and ended up arriving at our camp in the dark. After dinner the cook surprised us with a cake he made without an oven.  We were off to bed early as our wake up call in the morning will be 3:00am!
