Machu Picchu, Peru

I climbed steep stone steps, slippery and glistening from the soft rain. The clouds swathed the mountain tops around and below, the weather teasing, merely a fuzzy outline of grey terraces appeared. I thought optimistically and envisioned the Lost City emerging through the murkiness. And fortunately as I scrambled higher the rain ceased, white clouds parted blue sky materialized and before me the mesmerising ancient site of Machu Picchu was revealed.
