It´s Halloween! Yippee...now keep walking!Day 4 was a pain in the butt. We trekked from Santa Teresa to the train station where we had lunch. Then, it was time to continue on along the train tracks to the town of Aguas Calientes, a town Jaime affectionately calls "Gringolandia". I hated it. Walking along those tracks was brutal. You could not look up and there were rocks on the tracks so, sometimes you´d slip or skid out on the rocks. It was methodical and the railroad ties are not evenly spaced so you really had to pay attention to where you stepped. The train came by a couple of times and we had to scurry to the side. By this time, I could tell that my legs were getting tired. We had done alot of trekking up and down some big hills.
We arrived at Gringolandia at 2:30 p.m. We made good time. I think we were all just wanting to get there...make it stop! We were done camping. Our accomodations that night were in a hostel with a hot water shower and a real bathroom - can I get an Amen?!! We showered, ate dinner and were pretty much ready for bed. There were some kids out trick or treating and I was too tired to really notice! But, I wasn´t too tired to appreciate the fact that the next day, I would be visiting the world famous Macchu Picchu site!
