Wednesday morning

For me, one of the best parts of the Inca Trail is getting back into civilization and enjoying the comforts I otherwise can’t help taking for granted: running water, a mattress, clean sheets. My first contact with these amenities feels so incredibly good, it’s almost melodramatically comical. I love it!
The best part of last night was seeing Hanna doing well, in good spirits, smiling, joking, happy to see us.
Tonight we begin the marathon trek back, this time on planes.
Can’t wait to get home. I miss my cucarachita tremendously — she’s changing and learning so quickly that she sounds different on the phone now than she did three weeks ago.
