The most amazing week and a half of my life. First of all, I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro! I did not summit, nor did I regret that decision. I did get 4/5up, to Kibo, which is well above the clouds. Like many people, I got altitude sickness, so I was nauseas and ate little as a result. The porters who carry our duffles and the guides who walk with us and support and encourage us are so amazing. When we reached Kibo, they danced and sang as we approached camp. Many high fives and fist bumps all around. The photos of Kilimanjaro can not do it justice. I was not expecting the rugged arid places to be so beautiful. I suspect that my pictures, too, will not capture the experience
