About Me | I am wtw's Blog
https://iamwtw.wordpress.com/about
I am wtw's Blog. Just me writin' and stuff. I spent many years climbing the corporate ladder of a large broadcasting corporation until I finally reached a job I hated and then helped reorganize myself out of it. I was mainly a stay-at-home dad for six years doing a lot of volunteering at the school, coaching soccer, cooking continuously and driving everywhere. I also did the odd bit of contract work, mainly as a Production Manager for the Easter Seals Telethon. Thanks for dropping by. You are commenting ...

I am wtw's Blog. Just me writin' and stuff. Peru Day 6, Above the Clouds. Peru Day 7 – Machu Picchu →. Tales From the 400. March 13, 2013. In a packed car we headed north. Poor Jen squeezed into her front seat with a squirmy dog who insisted on having his butt, at the very least, on her lap. That MacDonald’s has been closed for a couple of years now. The bigger shocker was the MacDonald’s across from the Cookstown Outlet Mall being half demolished. That place was always packed…a...Much further up the 400...

Thankfully, and surprisingly the skies are clear and the sun is very warm, as it was yesterday. I had been checking my weather app every day for the past month and had never seen an area weather report without rain. Not surprising considering this is Peru’s rainy season. However, we have had great weather, not ...As we enter thr...

Sarah was obviously in the first group, happily moving along at a steady pace with few stops. I was more in the middle and spent most of the walk with Ava, the Finnish mother of two daughters older than Sarah and also part of the front four, and John and Melissa, a wonderful, recently married couple from Red Deer, Alberta. Tomor...

Another early morning with some anxious packing trying to figure what to put in the daypack, what will fit within the 6kg limit for the duffle bag provided by G Adventures and what to wear for our first day of adventure. Henry told us to be prepared for all four seasons, how do you pack for that? We finished the days journey in ...

Sarah spent most of the hike well ahead of me as part of the Fast Four which included two Finnish sisters, Katri and Meri, the German student, Mattias and Sarah. I walked most of the way with John and Melissa. We finally arrived at our camp just after 4 pm, about 20 minutes after the Fast Four. Not bad. This entry was posted in Family.

I am wtw's Blog. Just me writin' and stuff. Tales From the 400. A Costa Rican Christmas →. Peru Day 7 – Machu Picchu. March 17, 2013. As the sun rises on Day 7. This took a while to write because it was an extremely long day both figuratively and in reality and trying to capture the physical and emotional ride of the experience in a just few short paragraphs is almost as daunting as the final steps to the Sun Gate. With Henry at the Sun Gate. You can see the windy bus route in the background. Soon we wer...

I will publish a post for each day, but probably not daily. The Internet is very intermittent at best, in our home away from home.

Cusco is a very cute and historic town and was the capital of the Inca empire. It’s almost 3,400 meters above sea level. For perspective, Toronto is 76 meters above sea level and it’s CN Tower is just over 550 meters high. We explore some of the city (STEVE! I found the 12-sided stone! We’re all introduced, Henry...
