Sometimes we had to wait for sheep to edge to the side of the road. The villagers gave us festive dress and involved us in common activities including digging potatoes the old-fashioned way, gathering flowers to make a dye to dye T-shirts they gave us, husking corn and shelling beans that were part of our lunch, and dancing to music played by local musicians. MACHU PICCHU Our last stop was Machu Picchu. Breathtaking and almost unbelievable, it is a "must visit" location if one ever gets the chance to visit Peru. There's nothing like spending the day in a 500-year-old abandoned city to help put things in perspective. After all, what could be better than experiencing the trip of a lifetime? How about experiencing two trips of a lifetime? I hope you can join Fred Smith and me as we embark on a trip to Ireland and Scotland this summer from June 27 to July 8. For more information, feel free to contact me at dmcmoran@wsu.edu. The team from Washington State topped off its trip with a visit to the famous and breathtaking Machu Picchu.
