The Inca Trail - Day Three

Our third day on the Inca Trail started early with soft voices asking "coca tea?".   Up quick, otherwise the little warmth from our sleeping bags won't transfer to our hiking gear.  Great breakfast, ongoing trail with wonderful flowers, spectacular scenery which continued to take our breath away and a trail that demanded everything your legs could give and then some.  Finally got a photo of "Angela's shoe" and some of the biggest leaves on a plant I have ever seen other than on a banana plant.  Ended the day hiking along the railway line to Aguas Calientes and a fun night out with Vanessa, Heidi, Harold (the cha-cha King), Virgilio, Omar, Mark, Lisa and Heather.
