Checking things off my (bucket) list

The past week and a half, the Hubs and I traveled to Colombia and Peru to check things off the bucket list.  It has been a dream of mine to visit Machu Picchu.

A few months, year ago, I wrote a post here about my bucket list.  It is an ever evolving list.

Here are pictures from my first official bucket list adventure.

First stop: the Salt Cathedral 

While most of our trip will be high above sea level, today we were below the earth

Just doing some taste testing 

Plain salt...blah

Colombians like their hot chocolate with cheese 

the Hubs studying the guide book (a typical view when we stopped) 

3,200 meters above sea level 

The Hubs and Bogota's 8 million residents 

My cuy (guina pig) 

the Hubs and his alpaca 

The train ride to Agua Calientes (the town to stay in before going to Machu Picchu)

We are here!  

We hiked Wayna Picchu to look down on Machu Picchu

Scared of heights while at the tip top of the mountain 

He's not scared

That bald patch is Machu Picchu as seen from Wayna Picchu 

Cusco

Inca Cola is more popular than Coke 

The famous 12 sided rock in a supporting wall 

Peruvian ceviche 

We ended the trip with the Hubs eating his favorite candy to start feeling better
