To celebrate her birthday, in January Melissa and I are off to Cusco, Peru where we will acclimate to the altitude for a few days before beginning a 5 day, 4 night, 47 mile hike to the Incan citadel, Machu Picchu!
This will be the most challenging thing I’ve ever done physically and some of the training sessions have been incredibly grueling. The day before writing this we went on a nine mile hike up Mt. June, trudging through almost a foot of snow while gaining 2,300 feet in elevation.
We will begin our voyage down on New Year’s Eve and will be ringing in 2023 in Latin America with what is sure to be the experience of a lifetime!
