Machu Picchu is one of the world's spectacular sites. We hiked in last year; it was beautiful. And Cuzco is one of the great dramatic settings for a town. Plus the people were friendly. Heavily traveled these days, but still amazing.

The Natural History Museum admission is free the first Tuesday of each month. That's tomorrow, for anyone who doesn't have to work and doesn't mind the crowds on the free museum days, and it will save you $8/person (unless there's an extra charge for the special exhibition).
The Machu Picchu exhibition should be really interesting to see.

My grandfather, David Ford, was an undergraduate classmate of Hyram Bingham's at Dartmouth. Hyram asked him to be the Medical Doctor on the 1912 expidition. He is probably in some of the photos. He was 32 that year. He was tall and thin with a brown mustache and a stiff left leg.

I grew up with many of the same photos from the National Geographic on the walls of my grandparent's house. We have his camera from the expidition in our family room. He also took the camera to France during WWI (Royal Army Medical Corps) and then to China in the 20's (International Red Cross).
