Machu Picchu... NOT!!!

Hello everyone!

I went to Machu Picchu this week!

Actually I didn´t!!!

I went to Condor Picchu!

Because Machu Picchu is the name of a mountain behind Condor Picchu.

The real name of the city is: Illkyllantyamachuwakcha

Actually it´s not that either, it´s some other unpronounceable Quechua name.

But the Machu Picchu part is right, it´s a big mountain behind the city and Wayna Picchu is the mountain in the middle of the all the postcard pictures.

But yeah, it was quite wondrous the trip.

I don´t actually have much to say about it without pictures for reference, and how that takes a long time... Plus you just need to be there to understand, but I hope that my dad puts a bunch of the cool pictures I took on here so that you can see a little bit what it looks like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The rest of the week was pretty good.

Now that I proofread a little, you don´t know why it´s Condor Picchu. It´s because our tour guide kept pointing out how the Incas made everything in the city look like a condor. And that´s also the name that I don´t remember in Quechua.

I probably don´t make it sound too special, but that´s just because it´s indescribable. You have to go and see it for yourself. And after the mission I´ll be happy to help you out with a bunch of tips and pointers. But that´s a ways off still.

I actually just want to delete this message, but you guys need something to read. Machu Picchu is cool, it´s actually Condor Picchu and it rained on us.

Christ may or may not have gone to Machu Picchu itself, but He did come down and visit the Nephites here in America. (please see video I filmed at Machu Picchu.)

Love you all, take care!
