The final descent to Machu Picchu was one filled with joy, excitement, curiosity, and a sense of accomplishment.
Adventures in Peru, Part 3: Machu Picchu
Adventures in Peru, Part 2: The Inca Trail
The Inca Trail…a renowned trek that culminates at the stunning site of Machu Picchu.
We were so lucky to have been able to hike the Inca Trail during our trip to Peru. The feeling of arriving to the Sun Gate at sunrise to look upon the magnificent ruins of Machu Picchu is indescribable. It was an absolutely incredible way to visit a historical treasure that I have been wanting to see since I was 12 years old.

Adventures in Peru, Part 1: Manu National Park
After arriving in Peru and visiting Cusco for a few days (more on Cusco in a later post), our first major adventure was our tour of Manu National Park. 
Since we only had 16 days in Peru, we had to make some tough decisions about what we wanted to see and do.Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail were the reason we were going, so those were set, but we had to figure out how we wanted to spend the rest of our time. We debated between going to Tambopata, Colca Canyon, Lake Titicaca and Manu National Park. Deciding to go to Manu National Park meant missing out on Lake Titicaca and Colca Canyon, but if we were going to go to the Amazon, we wanted to get the full experience and spend a considerable amount of time there.

Hi There!
We made it back from our amazing trip in Peru! It was an incredible adventure filled with lots of history, culture, wild animals, jungle walks, hikes, tiny towns, big cities, and a few amazing new friends. I do have some upcoming posts to share much more about our journey in Peru, so stay tuned for those posts to come!

For now, I wanted to give you some tips on transitioning back to real life after a vacation and fill you in on how I motivated myself to start to return myself to an exercise routine after being gone on vacation.

Workout Summary for the Week of 8/25/14
Wow…what a week for us! We have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to fix up a few things at the house, but at least we are making progress. The house is finally getting to where it needs to be and we have almost completely settled back in.
One good thing that has come out of all of this hard work is that I finally got my red front door! Very excited about this…it looks so great when you walk up to our house.
We have just a few more things to finish up before our big trip and then we can relax and enjoy our upcoming adventure!

Paleo Cinnamon Granola Recipe
When I first started eating Paleo, one of the things I missed the most was granola. An acaí bowl just isn’t the same without granola in it. I couldn’t really live this way, so I did some research, and stumbled upon a Paleo granola recipe. I tried it out, and it ended up being pretty easy to make and absolutely delicious. After making it, I decided to modify it to make my own recipe because I wanted to use a lot less almond flour than the original recipe called for.
This recipe I am about to share is the first one I had really attempted to make my own, and it is one of my absolute favorites.
