Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and the thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don't see it yourself. – Edmund Lee

It’s 4:30am and I’m awake and ready to explore the famed Machu Picchu! In spite of the cold morning temperatures, we knew that the first shuttle left at 5:30am and we wanted to be waiting at the bus stop no later than 5am, which I’m glad we did, because within minutes the line behind us stretched further up the road than I could see. For the first time it feels like in Latin America the buses were ready to leave on time and we were on the very first one headed up the hill for the twenty-minute ride to the Inca site. As we were winding through the mountain roads it was still dark out, but as we arrived you could begin to see the sun peaking up over the ridgeline of the Andes and I couldn’t help but think how incredible this experience has been.
