We have made it to Peru! It was a super long trip, just like our Grand Canyon experience. We got in at 6am this morning (and it was COLD! nothing like that 108 degree weather in AZ!!) and have been spending the day acclimating to the altitude, catching up on sleep, and practicing our spanish. The practice has involved a little studying and a lot of watching TV in Spanish, including "Hook"! I KNOW, RIGHT??? Such a good movie.
Jack is experiencing the shortness of breath as am I (feels kind of like sucking air through a straw), but I am also just super tired. I think it is a combo of the altitude and also sleeping like, oh....4 hours in the past 24. I'm getting too old for this...tomorrow we start setting up our treks and taking photos, so be ready for more to come!
Take it easy until you acclimate!!
ReplyDeleteYou are never too old but do not underestimate altitude. Take your time. We actually did better at Machu Picchu which is a bit lower. Enjoy your trip.
