From a temple passageway, pre-Peruvians could
watch the sun rise beyond the stone towers, which ranged from 6 to 20 feet in height and were spaced precisely to calibrate seasons, weeks, and days according to the changing position of the sun throughout the year.
During the course of our round the world trip, we
watched the
sun rise over the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, explored the picturesque chain of Thailand's southern islands, shared a tree top bungalow in the tropical paradise of Ubud, Bali and soaked in starbaths set above the white sands of Diani Beach, Kenya (see Beds, Baths and
Beyond).
