We had wood stove pizza for dinner last night. Nicole was in heaven and finally ate a good dinner. Afterwards the two of us sat on the couch and had a deep conversation. There was another Ayahuasca ceremony going on right next to us for people in the community.
After breakfast this morning we said our goodbyes and then five of us departed in a car for an hours drive to the train station so we could go to Machu Picchu. We had lunch at a restaurant near the station. We sat out in a garden while we ate and watched a humming bird drink from the flowers on a tree. After lunch we boarded the train.
The ride was about one and one half hours. It was an absolutely beautiful ride. Everything is so lush and green. I saw the San Pedro cactus growing along side the train track.
We arrived in the lower village of Machu Picchu late afternoon and trekked to our hotel and then up the stairs to our fourth floor room. I left my carry on bag at a luggage check in the village where we got on the train. Grateful I did as it would have been a struggle to pull it through the village and up the stairs to our room. I had put what I needed for the night in my back pack so I didn’t have to open my carry on bag and have to pack it again.
We are meeting at 6:00 in the morning and heading to the top of the mountain so we can see the sun rise. Trusting I will sleep good tonight so I have the energy to climb around a bit. Although I will be perfectly content to sit and enjoy the view if needed.
Feels good to be out of the energy of the center and to get to relax on the train seeing the snow covered mountains. Lots of flora and rushing water at the train track level.
Not sure what I am doing this evening. May just go to bed soon. I have an incredible view out our bedroom window and feel so content sitting on my bed and looking out.
I am anxious to see if the energy of Machu Picchu will feel the same to me as it did last time. I felt myself getting pulled back in time on the train ride. Everything feels a bit surreal to me right now.
I am still processing the experience of drinking the plant medicine. So grateful I came and drank. Have a feeling my learnings will continue to unfold over the next few weeks and months.
