So I just got the email from Peru Treks saying that our trek has been cancelled. I am a little peeved b/c they say the trail will not open until April 1st and we were supposed to leave on March 31st so if it really does open on the 1st, we will have missed it by one day!
They are offering a 4 day alternative trek to Lares but we´ve already done part of that trek and would rather just get whatever amount of our deposit back that we can and cut our losses. The only good thing is that we will be back next year and will try again (in dryer months!).
The disappointment hasn´t really set in yet. I know that it will, though. I mean, Machu Picchu is at my back door here and I don´t get to do the Inca Trail. I could still go to Machu Picchu by train later in the year, but I want my first views of it to be at sunrise after I have just hiked 4 days to get there.
Keri and I will still enjoy our travels but this does put a damper on things. Mother Nature is just not happy about something. Or as they say here, Pachamama is not happy!

Would you want to do it in June when I'm (hopefully) there?
