"Engaged on top of a mountain" - Ron Burgandy

I don't even know how to write this blog...I am still in shock...Russell and I are engaged. We arrived in Aguas Calientes this morning and even though we were both very tired we decided to hike up a mountain that is right next to Machu Picchu called Putucusi. It was a horrendous climb, tougher than anything I have ever done before...at one point we had to climb up ladders that went up a cliff wall. There were several times that I had to stop and if anyone has gone hiking with me they know I don't like to stop (sorry to say I am more about the destination and less the journey). I really didn't even want to go any further but Russell kept pushing me to continue (he obviously had an alterior motive). About 15 minutes to the top we passed two Americans that said to keep going it was going to be worth it, and it was. The view was incredible, you could see all of Machu Picchu...it was incredible. Again I promise to put pictures up when I get a chance. Then Russell tried pointing out some people that were on top of another mountain looking over Machu Picchu. I couldn't see them so he said "follow my finger" and at the end of his finger was a ring. You can guess what happened next: we broke up...we are no longer boyfriend and girlfriend. I guess I will have to get used to calling him my fiance.
