Machu Picchu (Part 4)

There was lots of taking pictures, especially with a herd of llamas that were grazing on the upper fields.  It got even cooler around 2pm when most of the tourists clear out (to catch their train back to cusco) and we just wandered around then ruins by ourselves (well there were maybe only a few hundred people remaining there) and it felt like we were living in the place almost.  Like we had it all to ourselves!  This part of Peru is simply gorgeous.  We hiked back down (an hour downhill instead of taking a bus) at closing time at 5 pm and made it back to our hostel in Aguas Calientes after dusk.  Grabbed some much needed food and took a much needed shower. IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH EVERYTHING!
