extreme trail ride




Hello. On sunday we went to the site, which is unreal. It is situated on the peak ofthe andes at 3800-4400m depending on what sector you are in. The remains appear to be in great condition. Bebels dad showed be several tombs located away from the main site, which i am eager to excavate. The hike to the site is a monster, at least 1500 straight up! i choose to ride a sturdy mountain pony/mule. That was exciting, there were places on the trail so narrow that one false step and you fall off the ledge. My pony got me there safely. I did however choos to walk hime down the mountain, to scary to ride on the way down. i have obtained the nickname princess once again, oh well. The showers still suck! Luke warm water doesn't do it for me! I am in Huaraz forthe week, civilization and americanized food. I will post pictures tomorrow. Shrinking already!
