Highlights of the Inca Trail
1. After an 8 hour day of hiking away from everything and up a giant mountain figuring out that my fuel canister had no fuel in it, rendering half my food supply inedible (this is the first day)
2. Being taken in by a very kind, although very drunk, Andean man. I was given access to a fire pit and a place to sleep. Fortunatly, my designated sleep spot was indoors. Indoors on the ground with a horde of 10 very excited guinea pigs. One of which sounded more like a elephant with a nasal infection than a guinea pig.
3. Seeing birds that looked like they belonged in the ocean in a marsh on the top of a 4,400m mountain.
4. Sleeping in the middle of some ruins in a feeble attempt to shelter myself from the wind. Later getting up at 3:30 am to keep hiking because I was too cold to sleep and figured at least I´d be warmer that way.
5. Not getting bit by rabid dogs
6. Snickers, granola, and soy milk for at least 3 meals
7. Loosing feeling on my right hip from my backpacking rubbing against me
8. Sections of the trail being almost perfectly intact
9. The Andes (not the mint)
