Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, so naturally I had to do something really extravagant to make up for the fact that I was missing all of that delicious food. I chose of one the seven new wonders of the world.
It's nearly impossible to describe through mere photos and words how breathtaking the ruins are. A bus takes you on road of switchbacks to the top of the mountain which literally puts you in the sky. Clouds whip past, alternatingly giving you glimpses of the incredible surroundings and blocking views only 5 feet in front of your face.
They are sprawling. We spent about 4 hours touring them and probably could have stayed much longer. It was also made a bit difficult by pelting rain which did not relent, of course, until we were back at the foot of the mountain. The trails were slippery and at some points, a misstep could pretty much lead you to certain death.
Fran,
ReplyDeleteI had a chance to spend some time with Mom in Hershey last week. You were certainly the topic of conversation on many occasions! Hoping you are safely enjoying every minute of this incredible experience. Happy Thanksgiving!
You are in our thoughts,
