Day 3 of mission trip to Peru.
Today was great! We started off the day with breakfast, about an hour bus ride to the train station, and a three hour train ride through some of the most beautiful land I have ever seen. We had views of the country side, mountains, and raging waters. After getting off of the train we took an additional bus ride to the entrance of Machu Picchu (all of the travel was worth the wonderous views of the Andes Mountains and Machu Picchu itself). The sights seen were awe inspiring, and no words I could use to describe could possibly come close to God's creation.
Several of us on the trip tried some new foods while in Machu Picchu including Guinea Pig, Alpaca, and Empanadas. The foods were all great and the guinea pig, in my opinion, tasted like chicken.
After spending four hours trekking through Machu Picchu and trying some new foods, we headed home. The train ride was full of people singing, playing games, having conversations, and more-or-less building stronger relationships with each other.
Tomorrow we go to La Fuente clinic here in Cusco. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us the next couple of days we are here.
