Machu Picchu Monday

Monday, May 22, 2017. We finally started getting hot here. I’ve seen 98 degrees now. The bee saga continues as the beekeeper has “no showed” twice now. We’re looking at alternatives…

Meanwhile, here’s some incredible steps at Machu Picchu;

Steps at Machu Picchu aren’t for the faint of heart…

The bee saga continues at home. Luckily, the beekeeper will be here on Monday morning, so we can walk a little easier outside.

What started as just a few bees quickly morphed into a dark group of thousands of bees at the top of our front porch. During the day, the bees are still active in the porch, but also a large “clump” of bees has taken up residence on the ground at the edge of the porch below a Juniper tree. It’s a first for us…

We also had a recent visit from seven javalina. Below are some links of interest. Enjoy! Have a great weekend…

Machu Picchu Monday

Geez, it’s Monday alright. The jeep began to make some terrible sounds in Kingman today, but it turned to be just something that had come loose bouncing down the dirt roads out here.

But then after returning home, the bees began swarming on the front porch…see below for today’s bonus pic!

Here’s the Machu Picchu Monday photo, a shot taken with a look at some ancient ruins above Ollantaytambo, in the Sacred Valley:

As promised, today’s Monday surprise (the bees:)
