Peru the Start

Bruce and I are getting ready for our adventure to Peru. All the medical supplies are in place. I just need to purchase Watkins' Deet from Walmart, and Neoprene knee sleeves - then, I believe we will have all the basics covered.In my zeal to conquer the Inca Trail, I over-trained my leg muscles, and am now spending a couple of hours per day stretching and icing them.

Walking with a backpack starts again on Monday! I still wonder if I have bitten off more than I can chew - which I oftentimes do. And, I quote my mother - "Claudette, your eyes are always bigger than your stomach." I can honestly say that my imagination is always larger than the reality of the project. So, with this in mind, Bruce and I are soldiering on in our quest of visiting another world's Sacred Site - Machu Pichu.
