Just a little bit.
Okay, fine.
So here's the thing to me which I don't get about Machu Picchu.
And I think part of the reason why I don't get it is because the elevation doesn't do much for me.
When I saw the pyramids and when I saw Chichen Itza and Teotihuacan, I'm just looking at these things.
I'm seeing heavy blocks stacked on top of each other.
I'm looking straight up in the sky and I go, these things get really tall.
It's the same thing when I look at a skyscraper, right?
I grew up in New York with skyscrapers.
I went to Chicago and I was like, oh shit, you guys got tall buildings too.
This is impressive to look at.
These structures don't seem that tall.
Yeah, yeah.
So, like, to me, it's not this, like, awe-inspiring moment that I had when I was in Egypt.
So you've been to Machu Picchu?
No, I haven't been to Machu Picchu.
And the reason, I think, part of the reason why I'm not compelled to go, I'm like, okay, like, they got some, a couple stories or something like that.
But the pyramid was the most miraculous thing I've ever seen in my entire life, outside of the birth of my children.
That is the, outside of the birth of my first child.
Wait, after you saw it once, you know, it's not... It's like a rerun.
