"Old Mountain"

...is the literal meaning of the name Machu Picchu. It's not quite as catchy in English, though. I made the overpriced journey by train to the famed Inca city on Saturday. Here is the obligatory snapshot from the mirador just inside the entrance. I screwed up and got some of the terrace I was standing on in the corner there; I guess that makes it unique and proves that it is not a postcard.

Don't worry, I hadn't even noticed the terraced. Glad you enjoyed Old Mountain.
