  • Today is our first day in the Sacred Valley of Peru. We decided just to take it easy and hang around our beautiful airbnb in Urubamba but while out for a walk we stumbled upon a forgotten Incan palace! How cool is it that you can wander into things like that when you are hanging around in the Andes mountains?!

    I love how you can appreciate other people’s connection to the sacred without feeling that it somehow threatens your own connection to God.
    I’ve followed your family since you were first setting out on your RV adventures. I love how you ground your children in the basics of living a good moral life, and also show them the amazing beauty and diversity of the world.

    Gotta tell ya, Megan, I'm SO glad you guys regrouped on your travel plans. There's a WORLD of difference between the last video I saw and this one. You guys have caught the wonder of travel and discovery again and that's what you love....and what WE love to experience with you! This place is remarkable!! What a treasure you've found! Keep on keeping on--love ya!

    Push the fluids on everyone!! I live at 7,300ft and I had to double my H20 intake. That may help everyone, especially since you will be gradually climbing in elevation. Canned 02. Stay well, stay safe! Love the videos!!

    Thank you for the little cemetery tour. I remember once talking to my mom and my aunt many years go, and talking about their relatives that passed on. My mom mentioning that once the family has passed on, no one would remember them (meaning generations). That really struck a chord in me, and now when i go through a cemetery, I will go to the old section, look at the grave markers and say.. "you have been thought of and remembered". I know it sounds weird to do that, but I too hope that I will never be forgotten. Okay... back to regular scheduled programming. Ha
    If I'm not mistaken that tree with the gorgeous white bell flowers (by the sacred rock) is of the angel trumpet flower family, and best the kids don't touch them. I used to have one till my neighbour warned me about it for the g'kids and our little doggie. According to the web here's what is says. ."Every part of the angel trumpet is highly poisonous, including the leaves, flowers, seeds and roots. All contain the toxic alkaloids scopolamine, atropine and hyoscyamine, which are deadly and poisonous". Best to be admired from a distance.
    Such a beautiful place and your AirBNB is the best. LOL@ guard Bull. That brought Mike to a standstill. haha. I don't blame him. The knowledge that the Incas had to engineer waterways, via ducts etc is a real marvel.
    Thanks for sharing another great video with us... 💖

    What a gorgeous town you're currently staying in!! Surrounded by all that stunning natural beauty and the Incan historical sites. I'm envious, but very happy for all of you! Also I cannot believe how lucky your entire family has been in terms of altitude sickness. Not sure if you're aware but during your mountain drive in the last video (where at one point you were at almost 15,000ft) you were only a couple thousand feet lower than base camp at Mount Everest(!!) which is just over 17,000ft. That's incredible!! Combine that with the fact that nobody in your family has been severely incapacitated with altitude sickness and it's darn near miraculous. I know there was some vomiting and other minor issues but all in all you've all been extremely lucky on that score. That's the thing with altitude sickness though, you never know when it will strike, who it will affect or how serious it will get. Your trip has been very blessed and you are being lovingly watched over from above no doubt about it.

    Sacred Valley is a perfect name for that place! I love your Air BNB, what an incredible place to stay. I appreciate the fact they don't have to shut the ruins down, obviously there are not deviants that destroy such places. The irrigation system is incredible, I've read about it but have never seen it "live" before. What a great experience 👍🏻🌞👍🏻🌞👍🏻!
