Turn Right at Machu Picchu Thoughts

[Caro]

I'm so sorry I've fallen so behind!! These last couple of months have been crazy and I lent the book to a friend and she still hasn't returned it....and spilled water all over it :( so sad!

I really liked this book a lot! Machu Picchu has always been on my bucket list, actually with Leah, and reading about it definitely made me want to go and do the 5 day trail. I really liked that he wrote it more like a journalist and also that he wasn't a skilled backpacker at all. He balances humor and history perfectly and I really appreciated that he gave more back story on Bingham's family and weaves it into his own story. He also does a great job at really trying to get to the bottom of Bigham and talk to a variety of people about their opinion of him and his "discovery" 100 years ago. I really enjoyed this one!
