You Only Live Once Don't let your dreams be dreams!

1st week of the dream come true!

Laguna Wilcacocha near Huaraz. 4,300m (12,900 ft), roughly 1,000m higher than Huaraz. Top photo is ours, bottom one is from Google. We picked the wrong season! Too many clouds his time of year :-(

Today, May 7th, we are in Huaraz (3052m-10013ft), still in the Cordillera Blanca. Today we're doing nothing. Seriously, we're out of the breath walking up the stairs. We really need to adapt to the altitude. We have headaches from the altitude, we're out of breath walking down the street, and our backs hurt from the mattress. Are we complaining? Yes! But no regrets and we'll be ready for Machu Picchu next Friday!
Photo taken during lunch with a great view.

Also Laguna Wilcacocha. Waiting for the clouds to part. They never did. :-(
