My Trip to Perú

(June/July 1997)

Hi. This is me at Machu Picchu near Cuzco, Perú. This was a sacred city of the Incas. It is on top of a mountain, and the views in every direction are superb. The combination of the view and the ruins makes this one of the most beautiful places I've visited.

I had a great time in Peru. I expected to see neat ruins and big mountains, but I did not expect to meet so many nice people. I also didn't expect the mountains to be so BIG. Below is a day by day account of my trip with some pictures.
