First day's hike - uphill all the way
August has been an incredibly busy month in Kenya – and a lot of fun! Hopefully I will be able to update you on the most difficult adventure I have ever had – EVER! The week of August 15, 8 PC volunteers climbed Mt. Kenya – a height of 4,985 M or 16,355 feet. I thought I was in good shape, but the high altitude kicked me hard. But we all made it to the top to see the sunrise, even if it meant leaving camp at 2:30 in the morning! We were on the mountain 6 days, sleeping in tents and being well taken care of by our porters and guides. I was the only one to hire a personal porter – how the others toted their 30-40 pound packs is beyond me. I am grateful to have had Robert carry mine for me! I am just going to include pictures to give you a taste of the adventure. Even the photos do not do the scenery justice, nor do they show the difficulty of the “hike”. I am so grateful to have done this adventure. Once more, you can see I have not figured out the photo situation in the blog, but you can get the idea of where we were!
