Kilimanjaro Videos
Tanzania is coming to eat our lunch
I went to Tanzania in eastern Africa recently and climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. There will be pictures and a writeup on that. Some of what I saw there made me think.
Let’s Climb Kilimanjaro
Eldest kid Sam was coming off several months working in a COVID ward in New York City and wanted to do something big before she started medical school in August 2021. Some of her medical buddies suggested going hiking in Iceland, because Iceland was letting people in. With COVID testing, of course. Other voices thought going to Africa and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro would be fun. Tanzania was also letting people come. We climbed Mount Fuji in Japan in 2014. That was fun and a real adventure. How much harder could Kilimanjaro be?
Lots harder, as it turned out.
