2 weeks ago USU College of Business was down in S. America for a study abroad (the same one that Ed did last year). While they were in Peru they traveled to Cusco and Machu Picchu and Eddie and I were invited to tag along. We had such a blast and it was great to be with some of our classmates. Everything we saw and all the people we met were so amazing. Lima is great, but outside of the city is really where you can experience South America.
We saw so many breathtaking Incan and pre-Inca ruins. It is really such a mystery to how these ancient people were able to construct such amazing architecture. We had a great guide who taught us so much about the Incan history and customs. I was so intrigued by the traditions and beliefs of these people. However, one of the most interesting things was that we really could see the correlation to the Book of Mormon times. The Incans were much later than the Lamanites and Nephites, but it was very apparent that many of the Incan traditions stemmed directly from the ancient Lamanite people. Just realizing that was enough to make my head spin.
We hope you enjoy these pictures. Sorry there is a lot. But you have full control of your computer so if you don't want to see them either exit or scroll fast.
