I cannot wait for your other journals to be posted on your site. Truly appreciated - that is what travel journal should be!
My sister in law and her girlfriend went to Machu Picchu in 2001? (not sure about the year but that was the year Peru had a big earth quake near Lima, 1 day after they left Lima). I dont think they took the trail like you did. I believe they went by car and only started their climb when they were in the neighborhood. They flew from Toronto to Lima to join a local tour mainly for British tourists. My sister in law said by Day 4 they felt they could not feel their legs any more ... I cannot imagine how you did it! Truly an unforgetable journey!
