South America

Well, as most everyone knows by now, I made a trip to South America. The main reason for the trip was to take part in a hike on the Inca Trail to Macchu Picchu. I had also hoped to get some sightseeing in as well. I managed to do both. Unfortunately, I injured myself on the very last day of the trip.

Actually, I am recovering well. It's still tough realizing that my team has already left for Alaska, leaving me behind. I'm seeking comfort in planning for my 2009 attempt at Denali.

Regardless, I thought I would go back and write about my South America experience. Even though the trip ended on a sour note, I did have fantastic experiences in the Galapagos, the Amazon and in Macchu Picchu.
