Exhuasted and Excited
I took a bus very early this morning from Nairobi, Kenya to Arusha, Tanzania. I used to say "You never lived until you rode in a cab in Mexico." This bus driver put Mexican cabbies to shame. However, I am so glad I chose the bus. Not only was it less than 1/10 of the cost of flying, but I got to see some of Kenya's and Tanzania's countryside. …

Summit day. The final push to the peak.
... rotten I was feeling. I kept trying to come up with ways of making the last bit of the ascent faster - counting, focusing on the steps in front of me that the boys were making. At times I felt like my body was in auto-pilot mode and that I was not really with it.
