Sorry you're having a rough patch. Keep at it and hopefully your toe heals well.
They strongly suggest to acclimate in Cusco (11,000 feet) for a couple of days. And then they give you coca leaves that they say it's good for elevation. I have no idea if it's effective or not, but during our hike every morning at 4:00 am the guide handed us a cup of coca tea.

The biggest mystery of all is what happened to them? Why did they leave? The Spaniards never found Machu Picchu, that's why it's intact, so why did the Incas leave?
I didn't know this but Incas didn't have a written language so most of the stuff we know is guess work. They had a very intricate knots on the rope as a way of communication in between locations, that obv captured DH's imagination. He wants to retire and work on solving the knot language, he says it's math.

Me too. I like historical fiction. If you find any good books about Machu Picchu, please share.

Imagine the work, to build a city in a place like that? And then to transport food there, every day. Life was hard work.
You guys look so great!

Getting our heads on track is the hardest part. For me it sure is. But you're hanging in there, that's the biggest thing. Keep swinging.
